The Australian Sex Party is online (link).
In the context of preferential voting and proportional representation in the Senate, this could become a viable little protest party.
Or rather an anti-protest, anti-pressure group party. It's appeal is straightforward:
"If you're sick of religious and anti-sex politicians like Steve Fielding, Brian Harradine and Fred Nile threatening to block legislation in the Senate and State Upper Houses unless they get their way on sex and gender issues, vote for someone who understands this rort."
Given the damage that Brian Harradine alone caused, and how little Australians like wowsers (that is, people who are obnoxiously puritanical and feel a need to legislate restrictive drinking hours, anti-sex censorship and so on), that's a good pitch.
The Australian Sex Party hasn't released its policies yet, and my opinion of it will depend on what they are, and what the character of the party turns out to be.
If the Australian Sex Party turns out to be a "leave us alone" party with support from the pornography industry, which is what it looks like so far, that's good. (Self-interest can encourage level-headedness, staying power and the habit of not being pointlessly annoying, for the sake of your bottom line. In this context, I think "greed is good".)
If it becomes a broad spectrum "progressive movement" party, that's not good, from my point of view. The last thing we need here is American style "8=hate" thugs going after churches, "anti-choicers" and anybody who believes in the traditional definition of marriage, or defining "hypocrisy" as being gay and not supporting a gay agenda, with "standing up to hypocrisy" defined as "outing" people.
If the party goes bad or goes nowhere, as most small parties do, it's not that big a loss. There are plenty of other worthwhile micro parties competing for my pro-freedom protest vote, such as the Australian Shooters Party (link).
