The latest moral outrage.
I don't imagine that this story is getting a lot of traction out of Australia but it's all over the news here.
A respected photographer whose work is exhibited in the national gallery, amongst others, has had photographs confiscated because they are of nude 12-13 year olds. Police are considering what charges to lay.
There are a gazillion links I could send you to here, the one I'm finding most interesting is from the blog 'lavartus prodeo' - which is a nominally left of center blog with several marginally notable contributers.

On a related note is this story published today about potentially banning naked babies from nappy ad, for example.

I'd like to add my personal opinion here but have been called away from the computer and feel it's something I can't express quickly or glibly, so I'll try and get back later.
