Not sure we're likely to hear a current Australian politician
say such a thing anytime soon:
In a candid podcast, Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo said he liked watching porn and that there was nothing wrong with it.
"If I watch porn, what is wrong with that? I like it. I am an adult. I
have a wife,” he said during an interview with YouTube personality
Deddy Corbuzier published on Wednesday.
But it's still, you know, Indonesia:
The politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle
(PDI-P) said it would be wrong, however, if he shared pornographic
videos. “What is not allowed is to share [the videos] because sharers
can be charged under the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU
ITE),” he said.
Watching porn is still generally frowned upon in Indonesia and the
government has made it difficult for citizens to access pornographic
content.
The Ministry of Communication has banned pornographic websites. It
has also banned websites not principally concerned with erotic material,
such as Tumblr and Vimeo, due to the presence of erotica on the
platforms.
This does remind me, though, of Gough Whitlam and Margaret heading off to watch that Swedish sex movie at the cinema in the 1970's. (The Language of Love? It's proving surprisingly hard for me to turn up the photo of them outside of the cinema that I recall.)
