According to Electronic Frontiers Australia, an internet civil liberties group, the draft law provides that "Matter unsuitable for minors" is content that is, or would be, given a Restricted or “R” rating by a majority decision of the members of the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) under guidelines designed for classifying cinema films and videos.
The EFA says that according to the OFLC Annual Reports, the vast majority of R films are so classified because they deal with social and political issues, referred to in the Classification Guidelines as "adult themes". Adult themes include: "verbal references to and depictions associated with issues such as suicide, crime, corruption, marital problems, emotional trauma, drug and alcohol dependency, death and serious illness, racism, religious issues".
Removal of the content is no defence under the legislation, says the EFA; material just has to appear for the offence to be committed, although ISPs are not responsible for material that appears without their knowledge.
The EFA is calling for concerned parties to object to members of the South Australian Parliament. Its web site can be found at www.efa.org.au.
