Following the launch of the Australian Sex Party at Melbourne’s Sexpo today, the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) has renewed calls for Labor, Liberal and the Greens to put the party last on how-to-vote cards in upcoming elections.
“ACL calls on all three parties – and indeed all parties - to quickly confirm that they will put this party last in upcoming State and Federal elections and ensure that they have nothing to do with furthering a political party which is blatantly focussed on protecting the financial interests of those who make money from the exploitation and degradation of women,” ACL Managing Director Jim Wallace said.
“However it is dressed up, this party is founded and steeped in an industry intent on promoting and selling hard-core pornography for financial gain. This is the same pornography that exploits women, harms marriages and can contribute to sexual abuse of women and children.
“Any responsible political party would insist on having nothing to do with them – and the Australian public needs to be reassured that this is the case.”
