| Message | Mr Speaker, Yet again we are disappointed to see a piece of Legislation brought forward by the ALP which we could support if it wasn't for one Article, that Article being Article 4. We agree to all other parts of this bill, but we will not endorse the relaxation of standards when it comes to nudity on TV. Axel Kraus, ANP Leader |
