Images such as those reported on are exactly the type that paedophiles seek and collect.
What is a paedophile ....?
What is..
Who are paedophiles....? Can be anyone in the community
Who...
What does a paedophile look like....? No different to anyone else you might come across in your day to day activities. For example - Teacher, Priest, Judge, Scout Master, Child Care Worker, Lawyer,
Shop Assistant, Motor Mechanic, 4x4 Owner etc etc
Do you know any paedophiles...? Most likely but haven't recognised them as such because they are exceptionally good at maintaining their 'secret life'.
Believe me, paedophilia is one very nasty and undesirable activity that all communities must strive to detect and prevent from occurring. Children must be protected at all costs even it if means that so called 'art' is removed from public display.
Most people seeking to have the so called 'art' recognised and publicly displayed have no concept what-so-ever of paedophilia and the long term effect such vile activity can have on the victims and the harm caused in communities. Just take a look at what's occurring in some aboriginal communities thorughout many parts of northern Australia. It would be fair to say that any shopping centre that you attend is most likely also a haunt for paedophiles seeking to locate and identify targets for future abuse. Same goes for children's sporting activities, little nippers surf life saving, Scouting, Primary Schools, playgrounds, Youth Clubs, Libraries etc. The types of locations are endless and can be anywhere.
Paedophiles are extremely resourceful and very practised in the art of deception and cunning.
Any images depicting naked, clothed or partly clothed children (particularly those nearing the age of puberty - but not limited to) are seen as stimulating and potential targets to these creeps. In fact recently authorities also seriously considered banning TV advertisements for babies nappys because images of a naked or partly naked infant might be seen as being 'attractive' and stimulating to paedophiles.
If you are a parent, an uncle, a brother or sister, grand parent or even just a friend or next door neighbour to children be ever vigilant as 'your' children may be targeted by a paedophile and they or even you might not have evn the slightest suspicion as such.
On the night the Police removed / closed the exhibition in question, TV reporters spoke to people obviously intent on attending the said centre. their remarks and responses shocked me as to their gross naivety relating to the risks associated with displaying such material. Comments such as 'there's nothing wrong with publicly displaying images of nude children' or 'Police should be out catching the real criminals' or 'It's disgusting to think that Police and State would interfere with an artistic display' etc. What a load of 'airy fairy rubbish' as they say. Trouble with many in society these days is that they are too quick to dismantle the very means of protection afforded the youth and children in our community. Just remember, even in Burma amidst the death, destruction and torment of the survivors there are reports of paedophiles moving amongst the orphaned children seeking out the weak and defenceless and most likely abducting them and subjecting them to horrific abuse and acts of depravity. Think about it as you 'mourne' the loss of a few pictures that are probably bordering on pornographic but presented as 'art'. What a joke. Bet you anything you like that any of the images displayed on TV are already in the collections of paedophiles around the world.

DIO,
You are spot on.
I am afraid that this so called art will only subversively promote and "legitimise" peadophilia. For example you can imagine a deviate saying to him or herself, hey it must be OK to do this to kids because it's OK for Henson to display photos of nude kids in an art gallery. I reckon the line up for this type of art show would be 10 deep with rock spiders...
I am sure as you said these sickos will be all over these images.
If this is art then I am afraid I don't see it at all.
There are beaches all over Australia where you can't take photos of your kids playing, just in case you might be a deviate. But Mr Henson can display his "work" for all to see? What is going on?
My two bobs worth anyway.
Steve.
