Australian customs officers have been given new powers to search arriving passenger’s laptops, thumb drives, cameras and mobile phones for any kind of pornography even personal racy photos.
The "pornography" question has appeared on questionnaires since September but it had received little to no coverage in the media.
“If you and your partner have filmed or photographed yourselves making love in an exotic destination or even taking a bath, you will have to answer ‘Yes’ to the question or you will be breaking the law,” say Fiona Patten, president of the Australian Sex Party "Travelers must now also declare perfectly legal materials such as Category 1 and 2 Restricted magazines, X18+ films and quite probably a large section of R18+ films which have explicit sex in them."
Patten said that by answering yes to the new Question 1 on the declarations, people would then be asked whether they are declaring a weapon, illicit drugs or pornography.
She also said the changes were part of a continuation of the "demonization of sex" by Christian leaders of both major parties.
