Woohoo! Great news. Democrats Press Release.
The ALP wanted radio left out of the inquiry, saying it was an unnecessary inclusion since most of the problem is visual images. But they didn't have the numbers, so Senator Allison's motion was approved without amendment.

Official information from the Senate's Environment, Communication & the Arts Committee (who are doing the inquiry due to report 23 June). There is information here on how to make a submission.

I saw a little boy in the city looking at a poster of a girl in underwear and he looked away really embarrassed, I don't suppose they are going to stop flaunting that in everyones faces!!

Why would a little boy be embarrassed about a little girl in her underwear?? Perhaps you're reading more into this Sudevi?
