Alexandra Greene, a 31 year old member of the Australian Classification Board says her role is not to censor, but rather to inform people about what they are about to watch and if necessary restrict the content from being viewed.
You've got to wonder what Greene thinks restricting legal content is, if not an act of censorship. Playing our national mummy perhaps?
She goes onto tell News.com.au in this interview that 'People should be able to watch or read what they like but we do need to protect people and children from unsolicited material, or at least give them the choice if they want to watch it.'
'I saw an interview with (Scottish comedian) Ronnie Barker where he said double entendres were OK because the children couldn't understand it and the adults would get a laugh. But now it's that adults get offended because they're worried their kids might understand.'
Do kids even give a hoot? Grow up Mum.

Now we come to this totally ambiguous sentence.
"Ms Greene says her role is not to censor but inform people about what
they are about to watch and if necessary restrict the content from
being viewed."
"not to censor" but "if necessary restrict the content from being
viewed".
Her comments reminds me of a pack of Russian Ginseng I once purchased that read on the visible advertising "This product will NOT cause sleep disturbances" but when I opened the pack there was a warning inside that read "This product may cause insomnia".
I could go on but...
My apologies for the bad formatting...
