Is this ready to go?--ragesoss (talk) 20:35, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've just done a huge edit; I think it's good to go. I left out anything questionably accurate, may add in a few more external links post-publication. Best wishes Pretzels^Talk! 20:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Parallels with the Bill Henson affair in Australia[edit]

The anti-filth lobby has become used to being ignored over the past few decades. As David Marr pointed out at the launch of his book The Henson Affair last November, these people are given oxygen whenever children are involved. When scandals are manufactured, politicians and rightwing commentators hanker after a chance to demonstrate their conservative credentials to swinging voters, despite the damage being done to the visual arts world and the cause of free speech more broadly. Wikipedia will need to address this phenomenon at some stage. Tony (talk) 06:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
