| Message | Two reasons for this bill: 1. The government should not be telling grown adults what they can and can't watch. 2. Parents are responsible enough not to let their children watch explicit material anyway. Therefore, that argument goes out of the window. |

| Message | Have you heard of irresponsible parenting? |

| Message | Don't speak in such a patronising manner - it's pathetic. If parents are that irresponsible, then children will find the means to watch pornographic material anyway. |
