| Message | Rosalie Brauer, HDV Culture Spokesperson "Mr Speaker, we oppose this bill as it mischaracterises the system entirely. It is not censorship; the standards apply to the suitability of movies for certain age groups. We are fully committed to protecting our children from obscene, violent and otherwise unsuitable movies, and will keep doing so in the future." |
