Fuck. Pointed out a potential lead to an Aussie poster only yesterday.

Australia's current PM, Malcolm Turnbull owns and displays nude tween "art photos" by a guy called Bill Henson. There was a bit of a scandal involving Henson a number of years ago that ended up with some local art magazine editor "defending" him by taking naked photos of her own daughter and featuring them in the magazine, including the cover. They then put the girl out in from of the press with a creepy coached speech about artistic freedom or some shit.

Sucks about Bruce Spence if true. Was a big fan of his. Kidman has always creeped me out though.

Thank you! I was trying to remember that artist's name. Which school was he asking for models? I remember the parents that were defending him were very well off and anyone that was critical of his art was labelled uncultured. These stupid, naive parents were willing to let their kids model for him so they could be seen as wordly and arty, stupid fucks.
