From the PM to OnlyFans, our culture has a low view of girls and women

Family First Party

News that recruiters are grooming underage Australian girls for the on-line porn trade platform OnlyFans is further evidence of our culture’s low view of women.

No one should be surprised.

Our laws and our cultural attitudes are porn permissive. Criminal grubs are taking a mile with the inch we give them.

Tragically, the innocent look of “fresh 18” is highly sought on Only Fans. Who would of thought that?

The platform of course vehemently denies it ever grooms girls to be ready to go at 18 once becoming what it euphemistically calls “content creators” is legal.

Others are doing that work for them, it is reported.

If elected to the New South Wales Legislative Council next March, I’ll move a private member’s bill to make it an offence to groom a child for OnlyFans.

Exhibit A of our culture’s low view of the dignity of women was the Prime Minister telling the Bush Deep podcast that if his marriage to Jodie Haydon failed, he’d like to have sex with Kyle Minogue.

Anthony Albanese has since apologised unreservedly for those creepy uncle remarks but not for a myriad of other inappropriate comments laced through the entire sordid exchange with host Nikki Osborne, a supposed comedian.

He is yet to say sorry for remarks and gestures (there was whisky on the podcast set) about the Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s breasts when referring to her gift of melons.

He must apologise for this as well. The Japanese PM is a key ally against the Chinese Communist Party, which just lobbed a nuclear capable ICBM into our backyard.

Australia needs a stateman in the Lodge in these fraught times, not a politician trying to look cool to a generation raised on online porn.

When such a demeaning view of women is the standard set in the Lodge, how do young men learn that consuming females as products through Only Fans is sexist, misogynist and ultimately harmful to the young “content creators” who have been lured into allowing themselves to be exploited by Big Porn?

By the way, where are the Labor women? Platitudes about equal numbers of women in the caucus should not be a leave pass for treating them as sex objects.

So rife is porn culture that when One Nation candidate David Farley, now a member of the House of Representatives, was found to be sharing Only Fans content on his Facebook page, he brushed it off.

He claimed to not know what Only Fans was, but he didn’t deny he’d intentionally shared images of semi-naked young women.

One Nation, which is actively courting the votes of the Christian constituency, continues to stand by Farley.

A key party official for One Nation in Victoria, Bianca Colecchia, is a proud former manager of a strip club.

One Nation seems to think luring young women into “sex work” is fine. 

It is widely acknowledged that Only Fans puts many young women on a pathway to stripping and prostitution.

Only Fans of course says it only acts within the law and has no association with those at the underage end of its supply chain.

Why be a lawyer or a doctor when upon turning 18 Only Fans promises you fortune taking your clothes off for men looking at you through their smart phones?

A civil society would not be creating such employment pathways, but politicians have made the exploitation of young women for the entertainment of men a state-sanctioned career option.

All the evidence is that prostitution is inherently exploitative, yet Australian politicians continue to resist tried and true Nordic policy which criminalises the male buyers of women.

If both the left and right of politics don’t have moral clarity about the exploitation of young women through the ubiquitous porn trade, what hope is there for protecting our daughters from harm and our sons from a life of relational dysfunction?

There’s nothing more toxic for marriage and family than pornography. Yet families with a married mother and father raising children is the building block of a flourishing society.

The job of every parliamentarian from the PM down should be to protect that precious group unit for it is the bedrock of our society.

Why poison them by glorifying porn on Only Fans or a smutty podcast?

De-sensitised by the false promises of the sexual revolution, political leaders on the left and the right simply don’t get it.
