I suggest a competition for the entertainment of linkers:

  Discover a quote from the submissions that has the least
  relevance to reality.

To kick the game off, I submit:

  Anthony Grigor-Scott
  Bible Believers' Church

  ...
  "Community concern" is against government-approved
  pornography and the moral depravity and deliberate lies
  peddled by internationally controlled media and
  entertainment industry, that comes into homes through TV,
  State-owned, and many Community radio stations, public
  libraries, newsagents, the theatre, clubs and movie
  houses. To say nothing of pornography distributed from
  Canberra, the pornographic capital of the Southern
  Hemisphere.

  The Department of Communication and Arts is an vehicle to
  finance and implement the policies of those who control
  entertainment and media world-wide.

  The Commonwealth Government has decided to introduce
  measures that will submit on-line services, like the
  Internet, to the control of those who legally subvert the
  nations' morals, destroy our youth, trivialize sex,
  promote filth, advertise prostitution and endorse
  homosexuality.

  No government that considers the changes to Australia's
  criminal as code proposed by the Model Criminal Code
  Officers' Committee, which virtually legalize incest,
  abortion, and deviant behaviour like sex between carers
  and the mentally impaired, can have any "community
  concerns".

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.  I hope that Mr
Grigor-Scott has taken a Bex and had a good lie down.
