Although Australia's various strange prohibitions, it is not strange to see a lot of friends. However, the following one may still surprise everyone! And under this ban, I'm afraid a lot of people are breaking the law.
Under the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, it is illegal to watch pornographic content on the Internet. Viewing pornographic content online is a punishable offence across Australia.
All films and computer games in Australia need to be graded by a rating committee. "whether you are selling, renting, lending or giving away movies or games, they need to be graded," the government said.
The rating ranges from general-level viewing of the G, children under the age of 15 to the parent-directed PG, up to X18. The film, rated X18, describes "the truthfulness of consent between adults." These X18 films are available for viewing and purchasing only in the Chiefs and Northern Territories.
In all other states and territories, buyers and sellers of X18 content are at risk of huge fines.
Viewing, including through the Internet, mobile phones and other devices, is prohibited.
In recent years, many regions have tried to enforce the sex industry ban. Toowoomba, in southeastern Queensland, held its third annual rally in October to co-sponsor "porn-free", with men promising not to look at "explicit" content.
People at City Women, an anti-pornography movement, say there is plenty of information that pornography poses a danger to the community.
