    Default The Australian Sex Party

    Quite recently, i became aware of a more tolerable political party which i find quite interesting and also, much more reasonable and fair minded than the jesus freaks/racists in the Liberal Party or the bludging trade union imbeciles in the Labor party.

    A New Australia political party called the Sex Party:
    The Mission Statement

    The Australian Sex Party is a political response to the sexual needs of Australia in the 21st century. It is an attempt to restore the balance between sexual privacy and sexual publicity that has been severely distorted by morals campaigners and prudish politicians.

    Tolerance of sexual free speech and sexual expression is one of the main hallmarks of free and democratic nations. Intolerance of these qualities is one of the hallmarks of autocracies, dictatorships and theocracies.

    The vast majority of Australians are relaxed and tolerant of a broad spectrum of sexual expression but state and federal governments have increasingly ignored this demographic and pursued policies and legislation that have restricted sexual free speech and expression – often under threat of large fines and even jail sentences.

    The Sex Party is fed up with wowserism in Australian parliaments. It is frustrated by the lip service paid to gender equality and sexual identity by the major parties when real and meaningful law reform stalls on factionalism and behind the scenes handshakes with religious leaders.

    The Party has registered with the Australian Electoral Commission and has signaled its intention to field candidates at all levels of government over the coming years.

    The Policies




    Censorship
    • Bring about the establishment of a truly national classification scheme which includes a uniform non-violent erotica rating for explicit adult material for all jurisdictions and through all media including the Internet and computer games.

    • Introduce an R and X rating for computer games

    • To overturn mandatory ISP filtering of the Internet and return Internet censorship to parents and individuals.
    Education
    • To bring about the development of a national sex education curriculum as a first step in preventing the sexualisation of children.

    • Development of a national internet education scheme for parents.
    Equality
    • To enact national anti discrimination laws which make it illegal to unfairly discriminate against people or companies on the basis of job, occupation, profession or calling.

    • To hold a referendum to create mandatory equal numbers of women in the Senate and State Upper Houses.

    • To create total equal rights in all areas of the law for gay, lesbian and transsexuals.

    • Overturn racist laws that ban Aboriginal people from possessing erotic and sexual media in the Northern Territory.

    • Ensure the sexual rights and freedoms of the disabled and elderly.
    Health
    • To enact national pregnancy termination laws along the same lines as divorce law — which allow for legal, no-fault and guilt-free processes for women seeking termination.

    • The listing of Viagra, Cialis and other drugs used to treat sexual dysfunction, on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.

    • Overturn restrictions on aid to overseas family planning organisations that reference abortion.
    Protection of Children

    • Convene a Royal Commission into child sex abuse in the nation’s religious institutions.

    • Develop global approaches to tackling child pornography which focus on detection and apprehension of the producers of the material.
    Workplace Relations

    • Ensure that the introduction of paid maternity leave is fair and equitable for small businesses.

    • Abolish sex slavery and sexual servitude by introducing non morality-based immigration policies that allow bona-fide sex workers to work legally in Australia.
    Other
    • Ending the tax exempt status for religions.

    speaking for myself, i agree with all of the above except for the proviso:
    <LI class=bodytext>To hold a referendum to create mandatory equal numbers of women in the Senate and State Upper Houses.
    since it's our democratic right as australians to decide who gets voted in, but since it's only the proposal of a referendum, that's fine by me.

    The Sex Party (and all other sex parties) FTW!!!

    PS the Greens are a bunch of :wub:s who have their heads so far stuffed up their arses, that they think their smells like eu de cologne-just preempting anyone who wants to offer the Greens as an alternative

    I initial reaction was no thanks, I'd rather have a cup of tea.

    But seriously, these proposals seem to be eminently sensible, except the last one, which seems gratuitous. It would be better to bring as many religious people on board as possible.

    I have a personal issue with the abortion clause, but as I am unlikely to father any Australian kids* that hardly matters.

    and
    Ending the tax exempt status for religions.

    Are both dumb, and will certainly both turn away voters.


    Also, there's certainly going to be a lot of disappointed people when they show up for "the sex party" and find a bunch of unattractive people sitting around a table in suits.

    i think religions should be taxed
    there's no point why any religion should be tax free
    especially with churches being as despicably rich as they are

    SEX PARTY!!!WHERE!?

    Seriously though, I love endless open mindedness.
    "Therefore I am not in favour of raising any dogmatic banner. On the contrary, we must try to help the dogmatists to clarify their propositions for themselves. Thus, communism, in particular, is a dogmatic abstraction; in which connection, however, I am not thinking of some imaginary and possible communism, but actually existing communism as taught by Cabet, Dézamy, Weitling, etc. This communism is itself only a special expression of the humanistic principle, an expression which is still infected by its antithesis – the private system. Hence the abolition of private property and communism are by no means identical, and it is not accidental but inevitable that communism has seen other socialist doctrines – such as those of Fourier, Proudhon, etc. – arising to confront it because it is itself only a special, one-sided realisation of the socialist principle."

    One-issue parties are never a good idea.

    Even when you agree 100% with their stance on this single issue.

    I agree, however looking further it seems that they have agendas on:

    Well first of all stigma against sexuality (i.e. was founded on people not hating sex workers)
    however also key issues on helping against sexuality problems
    sexual equality
    sexual opression
    somewhat anti religious
    gay rights

    I don't really understand what they mean by "Ensure the sexual rights and freedoms of the disabled and elderly." though.

    Seems to be good. Hopefully they will be another centre left party (and labor are centre, not centre left) that isn't so enviroment focused.

    so out of the major political parties in australia, we only get the choice between center Labor and Centre Right Liberal?
    except after tony abbott's selection as opposition leader, that means Liberal has become bat crazy jesus freak climate change denying cuckoo party

    Yep

    and as much as I don't care about the enviroment THAT much, the Greens actually are a lot better equality wise, whether with gays, the workplace (funnily enough much more pro union than labor) or anything like that.

    Pity there just absolutely useless when it comes to anything important, like the economy. Did you see Nettle release their environmental policy last year? When asked what the economic cost would be, she said they hadn't calculated it, and that it doesn't matter what the cost would be. Doesn't matter?!

    I'd bet my right nut (the good one) that if having to choose between saving a tree and keeping their job, the vast majority of Australians would let the tree (and any accompanying koalas) go up in flames.

    Oh, and another thing. I wish someone in the Greens could explain to me how they are for an increase in immigration and refugee intake but oppose the building of the dams/desalination plants we would need to make sure everybody still had access to water. Way to go, you tree-hugging, sandles-with-socks, cardigan-wearing weirdos.

    No, Aphrodite is emblem of Art Party.

    Phallus is more proper emblem for Sex Party.

    Edit : I am sorry. It was Priapus, not phallus, my bad. wiki link.

    If this is what the Australian's consider a sex party, I really gotta have a talk with them.

    I cant understand why they want to remove the tax-exempt status either . I can understand why they might want to remove certain tax loopholes that allow religions to posses certain things or property without paying tax, But othetwise religions preform a very similar service to charities.
