Sex Party sets sights on parliament

'We are serious about sex' is the slogan of a new political party to be launched on Tuesday.
With four million Australians accessing pornography, The Australian Sex Party, says it has a real chance of winning seats instate and federal parliaments.
Its platforms include a national sex education curriculum,reducing censorship, abolishing the government's proposed internet filter and supporting gay marriage.
Party convenor Fiona Patten says the internet filter will put the Australian sex industry out of business in five years.
"It's (the filter) a real step backwards to where we've come. In fact it's far more censorial then we probably were 30 years ago,"she told ABC Radio.
"Material that would be classified X-rated ... is considered illegal content and that is material that is currently available... in newsagents."
"You will not be able to opt out of that block."
The new party would advocate a national sex education curriculum, something other countries were developing, Ms Patten said.
"There's so much concern about the sexualisation of children,children being exposed to material. I would have thought our first action would be education."
The party will be launched at the Melbourne Sexpo.

Australia has a new political party - Australian Sex Party

SEX sells, and the newly formed Australian Sex Party knows it.

That's why, even with what seem to be sensible policies rooted in a desire to make sexuality and discussions about it less touchy subjects, the party has chosen a name that stands out from the traditional ballot paper line-up.

The party, with the slogan "we're serious about sex", launches at Melbourne Sexpo on November 20th and party convenor Fiona Patten is confident it will gain the 500 members required to register and contest state Upper House and Senate seats.

Ms Patten, who is also the chief executive of the Eros Association - representing the adult retail and entertainment industry, said she and others were concerned about the Government's proposed internet filter, which is being tested over summer on about 10,000 sites to block "unwanted content".
