Senator ALSTON (Communications, Information Technology and the Arts) (9:28 PM) —It is a bit beyond speculation, Senator Lundy. The government did announce quite some time ago that it would be replacing the existing X regime in respect of videos with a new classification of `non-violent erotica'. As I have indicated, my preference is to change that terminology to `non-violent pornography' so we all know what we are talking about. Given that that would then become the standard classification instead of X, it is only appropriate that that change should flow on to this legislation, otherwise you would be left with a repeal of X effectively repealing a whole area of classification in this legislation.
