The content is not Australian, the content is owned by, and a copyrighted to, the poster. If the poster requested the content to come down or deleted his tweet then it would all go away, but he hasn’t. Could you imagine the outrage if governments could apply government censorship on anything posted on social media, it’s not 1984

All knighthoods are honorary and IMHO not worth the paper they are written on. There is no rule of law that can force anyone to call another “Sir”, I think that went out in 1215 with the signing of the Magna Carta, the only rule of law is that a holder of KBE are allowed to use the title Sir

Yes knighted in 1953

Sir is an honorary title and as such no one is obliged to use it

Morally one could say Musk is in the wrong for refusing to take down the Posts outside of Australia, but legally he is correct. Australian law applies to Australia only, or Australian citizens overseas. What Australia is asking for is above the coverage of its legal system, and I believe Musk / X stance is if we don’t draw the line here then when does the over reaching of legal boundaries stop. Rather than go after Musk, Australia should have tried the diplomatic approach and ask friendly governments to ban the posts in their respective areas of jurisdiction. He is still a Cunt mind you.

I realise the girls are a bit older than they once were, but. ….

Based on the comment I quoted, So at the end of the day the sleeve for "See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Our Gang, Yeah, City All Over! Go Ape Crazy!" was just another bit of bat off material. or were you accusing other boys of doing that but not you? Or maybe no boys your age were doing such but only pre pubescent teens who were younger than Annabelle. I don’t hear about paedophiles lining up in their dirty macs at the Musse d”Orsay to view the picture and crank one off, come to that I don’t here of schoolboys doing it either

All I can say is that you must have led a very sheltered childhood if you were bashing the bishop over record sleeves at 15 or 16. At that age there was always a copy of “Razzle” or whatever in my schoolbag, and at 16 I was buying “Adult Magazines” at the works shop

Depends how you define “Lad” remember this was over 40 years ago, and when I was a lad “Lad” was synonymous with “Schoolboy” and once you had started work / had your first pint / had your first shag you were no longer a lad. I started work at 16 and did the other two before I started work. So lad being 16 tops, apply the half the age plus six rule (16/2)+6 = 14 which just so happen to be Annabelle’’s age and it doesn’t suggest inappropriateness in my mind. Anyway I was more sophisticated and preferred to spend palm Sunday with Kate Bush haha.

Ring any Bells? It’s an iconic album cover form the 70’s I often wondered why Houses of the Holy sold well in New Zealand

It was based on Arthur C Clarke’s Childhoods End but the shot was done for the album by Hypnosis. So 7-9 year old kids is acceptable, how about 11 year old Mariora Goschen on the Blind Faith album? Whilst I am no lawyer, I am pretty certain that Child Pornography laws applied to all children under 5e age of consent and not just ones over the age of 13 . Either the laws apply in every case, or not at all, and since Scotland Yard decided not to proceed with any prosecution it appears that no actual laws were broken.

Lwin’s Mother forced Scotland Yard to investigate, Scotland Yard found nothing wrong / no laws broken. If anything the controversy increased album sales. if that was considered as child pornography, what about prior releases such as Blind Faith by Blind faith, or Houses of the Holy by Led Zeppelin , or subsequent such as Nevermind by Nirvana All contained naked underaged children, but no, go after Malcolm McLaren the nasty man who gave us the Sex Pistols

Only in Prudish America, in Europe it didn’t bat an eyelid since it was based on a painting called “Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe” (Luncheon by the Lake) by Edouard Manet. But then again America goes batshit crazy when there is an accidental nipple flash during a half time superbowl show
