A man who downloaded Simpsons 2D parody porn has been convicted for possession of pornography featuring minors.
A Supreme Court ruling against freedom of expression in the case was a landmark one, which sets a precedent banning all 2D depictions of sex which may be construed as featuring under-age participants.
The man convicted was found to have erotic parody images of iconic cartoon “The Simpsons” on his computer; he was originally charged with, and convicted for, possession of (and accessing) child pornography by a local court, with a possible ten year sentence (though he received a substantial fine and probation instead).
However, he appealed, arguing that the porn could not be considered to feature actual “people”, as they “plainly and deliberately” departed from the human form.
The judge hearing his appeal at the Supreme Court disagreed, admitting that they were “markedly and deliberately different to those of any possible human being”, but holding that realism had no place in determining whether they were depictions of people.
The judge conceded that the real purpose of the law was to stop the actual acts depicted photographically, but opted to more broadly interpret the law as being intended also to prevent artistic depictions which could “fuel demand for material that does involve the abuse of children”.
His verdict was to dismiss the appeal, ordering each party to cover their own costs, due to it being “the first case dealing with this difficult issue.”

This would appear to leave very little ambiguity as to the legality of loli in Australia; in the eyes of this judge, there is near to no difference between imaginary children and real ones.
The article is boring, but the image is interesting enough!
I’m an Aussie and I have never heard of this incident! nor of these laws! looks like my rights are going straight down the down like what feminists are doing to people’s rights in other countries.
BE PREPARED if it’s happening here then it’s only a matter of time before it happens elsewhere (every other country)!
don’t worry Stupid comes but we must push before it goes
i thought Brain death was located in the politics area of things
this actually goes to show that the Melbourne underworld should publish Hentai Manga instead because our drug culture aren’t going so well with the police plus it’ll be a good way to dispose of loud mouth idiots from politics,b unless they want to appear ‘detached from reality’ or ‘freedom of expression will be violated’
and the good thing about this is that the mobsters will make billions n.n
Ow, the Commonwealth is more doomed than everywhere else I guess.
one less sick f♥♥k. f♥♥k you japan get your retard s♥♥t out of my country
racist are we?
you should stop because you may attract more attention or do you prefer our government should bring in the “white Australia” policy?
and who said it was ‘your’ country? did you forget about the aboriginals and Torres strait islanders that were raped by the commonwealth and lost generations of their children? in my opinion the system is in need of purging. and groups like Exodus international, the Australian Christian Lobby need to stop meddling with equality.
One more sad biggot…F*ck you Australian, get my lolicon out of your country~
Something like this happening is old. The band Intense Hammer Rage got a HEAVY fine and norrowly avoided jail for having an album cover with a drawing depicting necrophilia.
