Untitled[edit]

Sorry a bit new to this, but thought i'd point this out: "child pornography means an article that describes or depicts, in a manner that is likely to cause offence to a reasonable adult, a person who is, or who looks like, a child under 16 years of age (whether the person is engaged in sexual activity or not);"^[1]

This is from WA CLASSIFICATION (PUBLICATIONS, FILMS AND COMPUTER GAMES) ENFORCEMENT ACT 1996

Also found:

Child pornography laws in Australia → Legality of child pornography in Australia – Several different formats exist for the titles of articles regarding the legality of a particular thing. I believe that all of these should be consistent with each other and that that format should be "Legality of X" (instead of "Legal status of X, Laws regarding X, etc.) Others have noted that "legality" is a more common term when referring to whether something is legal or illegal than "legal status".

Child pornography vs “general pornography”[edit]

The introduction contains this bizarre, unexplained, unsourced and misspelt statement:

It is interesting that possession of general pornography is not illegal in any state, while possession of children pornography carries significant penalties.

This statement was added at 2019-08-20 01:39 by @Enthusiast01, who remains active on this project. Hopefully they will provide an explanation here. If they do not, I suggest removing this statement.
