I suggest a competition for the entertainment of linkers:

Discover a quote from the submissions that has the least
relevance to reality.

To kick the game off, I submit:

Anthony Grigor-Scott
Bible Believers' Church

...
"Community concern" is against government-approved
pornography and the moral depravity and deliberate lies
peddled by internationally controlled media and
entertainment industry, that comes into homes through TV,
State-owned, and many Community radio stations, public
libraries, newsagents, the theatre, clubs and movie
houses. To say nothing of pornography distributed from
Canberra, the pornographic capital of the Southern
Hemisphere.

The Department of Communication and Arts is an vehicle to
finance and implement the policies of those who control
entertainment and media world-wide.

The Commonwealth Government has decided to introduce
measures that will submit on-line services, like the
Internet, to the control of those who legally subvert the
nations' morals, destroy our youth, trivialize sex,
promote filth, advertise prostitution and endorse
homosexuality.

No government that considers the changes to Australia's
criminal as code proposed by the Model Criminal Code
Officers' Committee, which virtually legalize incest,
abortion, and deviant behaviour like sex between carers
and the mentally impaired, can have any "community
concerns".

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I hope that Mr
Grigor-Scott has taken a Bex and had a good lie down.
