Not being personally familiar with Australian law on the subject -- I assume that it's illegal in Australia for Joe the Janitor to take naked pictures of kids........so then why should it be legal for a member of the "artsy" set to do it? If Joe the Janitor would go to jail for taking those same pictures -- then so should Bill Henson. Whoever he is. "High Art" excuse or not.
