Russh and Bill Henson

So lately there has been a rash of cries of "child porn" as artists have been using children under 16 in provacative shoots.

Russh, had a photo shoot with a 15 year old model posing in a bath topless. Now, the way the media played it, it was like the whole shoot was nude and very provacative.
It was only 1 shot. Sure she may be 15 which is still a child and shouldn't have been taken, but i've seen worse photos in Vogue.
I don't agree with using models under 16 at all, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Now for Bill Henson's photographs. Again, using a 13 year old girl was not the smartest thing in the world, and i would like to meet the 13 year old girl who was brave enough to pose nude, but not pornography.
And the fact that Kevin Rudd has spoken out so strongly about it immediately gets people's attention. Last night on Good News Week they said we voted Johnny out, not Kevin in and I think that's exactly right.

In both cases there was bad taste involved and possibly a bit of stupidity, but not pornography...
