Pornographic Book for Kids Shortlisted for Prime Minister's Literary Award

The pornographic publication - Welcome to Sex - which is aimed at children, was shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards. This book is unclassified, meaning it can be accessed by children of any age, and is found in the children's section of many libraries.

I asked Creative Australia how this could happen. The answer was disturbing and effectively amounts to a confession that their industry experts and selection panel have become so desensitised to sexual content for children that no one thought teaching young children about sexual techniques—topics that most adults would find inappropriate—was a problem. Instead, it was seen as something that should be encouraged, leading to it being shortlisted for the award.

One Nation is committed to implementing measures that will allow children to be children, protecting them from exposure to adult sexual material before they reach their teenage years.
