Ban on Fetish Sex Depictions in Film Should End, Australia Government Report Recommends
Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Australia should remove its strict censorship of legal sex fetishes and some acts of violence in film, a government-commissioned report has recommended. The country has a national system of films and games classification that has been little changed since 1995 – the pre-internet, smartphone and streaming era – as well as differing systems in each of the country’s states. The federal government this week released a report compiled by Neville Stevens in 2020, but not published for more than two years.
