Blogging For Backlash.

Despite the crazy pervert persona that I like to project, I don't particularly enjoy the sort of pornography that is likely to be caught up in the misguided tentacles of this government's proposed legislation.

But that's not the point; objection to the imposition of any law should be based on principles, not on whether it might have a personal impact.

I don't know the ins and outs of the proposed legislation; I've read it and I have some experience in untangling legal language, but even so, I'm still not completely sure about what might send me to prison for three years and what won't.

This alone makes it bad law.

It's bad law that seems, at least in part, to be motivated by this government's obsession with image; it's bad law that seeks to criminalise what we think; it's bad law that is unnecessary and it's bad law that simply doesn't achieve what it's supposedly designed to do.

Isn't ironic that just at the time the prison system is breaking down through overcrowding, this government is seeking new reasons to make it worse?

Bad law undermines us all, no matter what our particular proclivities might be.
