    To whom it may concern,
    I’m disgusted that my right has been taken away from me. I’m a law abiding citizen, who can think for myself. I watched the film with my wife, and we both found it disgusting, my wife was nearly crying, but you have to remember, the fil
    Is fiction.
    You need to get off your high horse and worry about your own family. If you want things to be banned, why don’t you start with the bible and the Koran because they are just like a Serbian film, fiction.
    Regards

      Your ignorant comment doesn’t deserve a response but I will give one. It does not matter whether the film is fiction or not. Depicting rape and violent acts against women and children is wrong, has always been wrong and will always be wrong. Using the argument that it is fiction, just a bit of creative theatre that tells a story is ridiculous. While you may be mature enough to think that this sort of crap does not effect you or degrade our social values there are others who cannot. Not everyone has the mental and emotional maturity to be able to watch such unnecesssary rubbish without being effected and (God forbid) turned on. We should not be feeding the lusts of people who choose to turn their brains off and get their kicks from watching this sort of ‘entertainment’. Like a lot of ignorant people your comments about religion should be ignored.

      I am deeply concerned to read the short sightedness of Kerrin’s response!

    Thank you Melinda T R.
    Let’s all keep fighting. I will ask around a lot more whether people know about your organisation and the importance of what you are standing up against. Obviously the breadth of the fighting front is depressingly wide but you have helped us all put in a stand. I recently read a summary on an unrelated topic, a government press release on how the money donated for Qld flood and cyclone victims of the last summer translated into practical relevant service and support. This is the quality of involvement I expect from a government. The Classification Review Board I assume are federal government auspiced at the very least. I will write to them of my disgust at this corpse like responsiveness despite the fact they are a living, apparently normally functioning institution. Obviously the criteria to which they aspire reflect that relative values, as our world becomes more shaped by evil, are the intelligent way to qualify so much as normal. Without a core absolute value of “Do good to and for your fellow” and without qualifying what you allow into society on this measure the multiplication of evil, even the viral like expansion of evil occurs. In an age where antibiotics were not even thought of a famous man in history told us those who know absolute values are our only hope. He also told us “You are the salt of the earth”. I know it due to the records eventually written by those who heard it from those who heard him speak. Such is the value of the bible.
    Yours sincerely,
    Roslyn Blackwood
