Hmm I know a few people who are going to the Sexpo - might have to ask them about this.

I think this party has alot of good ideas but I would want more details about their actual policies in regards to alot of other things before I could bring myself to support them. I do wonder whether their party name is going to be "the sex party" though, seems somewhat doubtful.

Many areas of Aus are very backwards in their approach to sex (Perth being the worst offender city wise) so some forwards steps in regards to the public acknowledgement of sex would be great.

Also education as to what exatly ir rape and what is not being included in generalsex education would be good - recent survey here of teen males showed that over 65% of them thought it was ok to "force" a girl to have sex. That's higher then the percentage that thought it was ok to physically abuse a partner. I think the inclusion of rape in physical abuse and a correlation being made between the two would obviously be good for Australian teen males.

Then there's the fact that over 20% of Australian teens are apparently not even getting a birds and bees talk from their parents and are receiving insuffucuent information about STI's.

The sex talk non-existent for 20 per cent of teens: Survey

Like I said I'll be interested to see how sucessful this party is and their approach to non sexual issues.
