Australian Newsagency Blog

The UK House of Commons has before it a bill which calls for all sexually explicit magazines to be hidden from children. The target, according to reports, is what are called the Lads magazines. We face similar challenges here with Picture, People and ZOO Weekly and while our OFLC has guidelines, retailers like newsagents are not required to isolate the titles. With more than 1,200 titles in an average newsagency, the best that can be achieved is that the titles are put in the right location. No one seems to know what the right location is.
