Bill: SIP.010.2626 Broadcast Television Content Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Sekowan Independent Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2632
Description[?]:
| A strong plurality of Sekowans believe in this, and we must agree with it as well. While objectionable material should be the responsibility of the parent to keep out of children's hands, we would be guilty of placing it into those hands ourselves if we allowed hardcore pornography to run on a different channel at the same time as Rocky & Bullwinkle... ((Survey data 2626 if I'm not mistaken)) |

| Message | The SGP is in favour of this bill. To allow children to view material which degrades women will give them the impression that society (and the Government) is in favour of such treatment of our fellow citizens. It is the responsibility of parents to educate children about sexual issues, however parents cannot be expected to monitor what their children are up to all of the time. We should also encourage parents to put into context sex and it's place within society. |
