We are calling for all depictions of strangulation in p**nography to be criminalised in Australia so that young people aren’t indoctrinated in violence and so that abusers can no longer go for the throat and call it “erotic.”

It’s unacceptable that young women fear being called “vanilla” when they reject s*xual violence.

The law needs to catch up. P*rnographic depictions of strangulation belong in the same Class 1 content category as other content realistically depicting life-threatening s*xual violence: it must be made illegal to produce, possess, and distribute.

We call on the Federal Government to follow the UK’s lead as a matter of urgency. The lives of more young people depend on it.

The young woman victim put her hands in her head and wept…

A precedent has been set in the first ever Australian prosecution of a then 18-year-old male student who used AI to produce and disseminate deepfake p**nographic images of a 17-year-old girl. And it’s not a good one.

William Hamish Yeates, 20, appeared in the District Court of South Australia for creating s*xually explicit images and videos of his Mercedes College classmate, which he shared over a period of months on online platforms Ero Me and X in 2024 and 2025.

The first time the female victim saw her graduation pics was on a p**n site.

Sentencing Yeates in South Australia’s District Court on Tuesday, Judge Anne Barnett said the offending had left his young victim “degraded and humiliated”.

“She now questions her judgment and whether she can trust other people,” she said.
“Understandably, she describes this part of her life as overwhelming."

However Judge Barnett decided to suspend a two-year sentence because of the Adelaide Law student’s “prior good character” and “undiagnosed issues” including autism. The Judge also said Yates did not have a “malicious motive” and had been introduced to online manosphere forums and followed misogynist and alleged ra**st Andrew Tate.

As the sentence was handed down, it was reported the young woman at the centre of the case put her head in her hands and wept.

We fought for laws to criminalise individuals who created and distributed these images. Members of our team are also survivors of Image Based S*xual Abuse.

However, now with Australia’s first ever ruling on production and sharing of non-consensual AI-generated s*xual material, we are deeply disappointed.

Other courts will look to this precedent to determine rulings on related cases.

Potential perpetrators will weigh up the risks and may think on balance they are worth it, before weaponing digital tools of abuse against their intended targets.

This does not auger well for women and girls who are mostly the victims of deepfake p**n production using their images.

Yeates’ harassing and degrading behaviour and yesterday’s court decision leaves the teen victim with life-long trauma – and puts at risk even more girls likely to suffer the same fate.

For almost a year, we’ve been calling out Amazon for selling replica little girl s*x dolls and body parts, all marketed for men’s s*xual use.

Paedophiles can purchase lifelike silicone s*x abuse dolls, or just parts – disembodied girl heads, legs, or headless torsos to enact their fantasies of sexually abusing a little girl.

Amazon has failed to get rid of child s*x abuse dolls, and continues to supply predatory men with replica girls to practice child s*xual abuse.

Enough is enough.

"Is it legal?" Honey Birdette serves up "explicit" ad at Lakeside Joondalup to school holiday crowds

For the second time in a month, Honey Birdette has dodged Ad Standards scrutiny - this time on an ad described as 'explicit' by a campaigner.

After lodging a complaint with Ad Standards, the campaigner was notified that the complaint would be reviewed by the Community Panel. But just a few days later, Ad Standards backflipped, withdrawing the complaint after receiving advice from the Pl***oy owned s*x shop that the ad had been removed.

Exactly as per the earlier bare-bum bunny ad we told you about, there is now no public record of this new ad violation - Honey Birdette gets another green tick for “removing” the ad, and Ad Standards calls it “compliance”.

No consideration given to the children exposed to and harmed by this ad, to the length of time it was displayed for, or to what it was replaced with (wait till we tell you about THAT.)

Beyond breaching advertising code, is this ad even legal? Western Australia’s law prohibits “showing offensive material to children under 16”. And what about the shopping centres hosting these ads - do they have a legal responsibility to provide a safe space for children? We posed these questions to Lakeside Joondalup (where this and was spotted) and parent company Vicinity Centres’ CEO, Peter Huddle.

We’re not going to let up exposing the people and systems that enable and encourage Honey Birdette’s recalcitrance, and endorse the grooming-style practice of shoving p**ny ads in kids’ faces.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we’re exposing companies that exploit breast cancer to sanitise their s*xual objectification of women.

In our early days, we exposed youth retailer City Beach for selling a range of p**n-themed merchandise, including t-shirts for men and boys featuring degrading s*xualised images of women.

City Beach stocked p**nographic clothing brand T**S, with t-shirts depicting female p**n performers naked, bound and with ball gags in their mouth. The brand was nominated for “Best Apparel” at the Adult Video News awards (the annual p**n industry awards) alongside categories like “Best Double Penetration” and “Best Young Girl Scene”.

T**S pledged profits from its “T**S for tits” range to breast cancer groups. The t-shirt range included s*xualised images of female p**n performers “checking” each other’s breasts.

Treating breast examinations as a girl-on-girl p**n fantasy for men’s s*xual gratification cannot be justified with a token donation to a breast cancer charity.

Flashback Friday! Remember when we got Dan Murphy's to withdraw s*x offender Ron Jeremy's rum promo?

“...long and elegant like the great man himself...sits perfectly naked...Get some Ron into you.”

This is how Woolworths Dan Murphy’s promoted ‘porn actor’ Ron Jeremy’s rum.

Only a few days after supporters spoke out against the promo, the alcohol merchant removed the video and Woolworths issued an apology:

"While we haven't stocked the product since 2018... we understand it [the video] is inappropriate and have removed it from our platforms."

Jeremy has since been indicted on 34 counts of s*xual crimes involving 21 women, spanning more than 20 years. BBC news reported that Jeremy's assaults of women, who ranged in age from 15 to 51, took place between 1996 and 2019. He faces over 300 years in jail.

Another rapid-fire win thanks to our wonderful supporters!

Mainstream p**nography is teaching a lie to an entire generation - that strangling a s*xual partner is normal, expected, and safe.

More than half of young Australians have direct experience with s*xual strangulation. A 2025 survey of 4,702 Australians aged 18-35 found 57% had been strangled during s*x and 51% had strangled a partner.

It is mostly women who are strangled and mostly men who do the strangling. We’re not talking here about a s*xual preference that individuals discover on their own: 34.8% of these young Australians said p**nography was where they first heard of it, and 61.3% said they had been exposed to information or depictions of s*xual strangulation via p**nography.

P*rnography is not mirroring a popular private practice - it is the vector by which the practice is normalised and spread.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we’re calling out unethical companies that attempt to legitimise their s*xual objectification of women with a token donation to a breast cancer charity.

In our early days we exposed Nena and Pasadena, a menswear company co-directed by AFL player Buddy Franklin, for t-shirts with s*xist and p**n-themed depictions of women.

Nena and Pasadena shirts featured images of women’s objectified bodies – women n*ked or semi-naked, photographed in s*xualising and demeaning positions – on all fours, bound, headless and faceless, and reduced to body parts.

Despite us raising concerns with the AFL for years, they remained silent – and later entered into a partnership with the company, the NXP x AFL collaboration.

In 2013, Nena and Pasadena publicly announced their financial support for the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA), with Buddy Franklin pledging to donate profits from the Neverland Store over a certain period.

BCNA rejected the donation. A representative said they had not given approval for the fundraiser and had declined the donation given the company’s depiction of women.
