PDFReport of the child pornography working party

27 January 2010This report recommends that NSW State laws be amended to ensure that if material is found to be child pornography, the fact that it is art cannot be used as a defence. The laws would cover the production, distribution, or possessing of child pornography.

A final decision on these recommendations will not be made by Cabinet until the state Government receives responses from victims groups, the artistic community and the media.
