Julian Burnside QC from the Bill Henson Art Debate

[lazyfreedom98]

As an artist I would not work with children or animals, we got cgi.

artistic freedom is not as important as protecting children from exploitation. period. do people even know who they are trying to protect their children from? heads up parents - they are everywhere, and it is the job of people like me to try and integrate them back into society (as best we can) and believe me, they do not need encouragement. time to draw a line in the sand people

[MusashiTzu]

Children cant consent to anything sexualised, simple as that. Nudity is included in that.

[badoodoo]

If you think nudity by default is sexual, you are a fool.

[MusashiTzu]

I dont, but the way henson shows it, it certainly is. There is that one photo he made where one child has their hand on another childs buttocks. Please tell me how thats not sexual.
