Not that I know of.
I'm glad in that regard, that Australia isn't run by extremest Mother's whom belong to whatever particular religeon of the moment.
Meh the world is screwed up. *shrugs*

@ Sparhawk, December eh?
Most of my mates have our birthdays in November, December, January and February. Mine is January 24th.
Plus seeing as we are all turning 21 this year round, its going to be party after party over the summer holidays.
I can't wait! ^_^

Are you doing anything big for your 18th?
I remember not sleeping for two days and drinking much, much alchoholic beverages. After that, everything is a blur.

Seeing as the legal drinking age here is 21, I can't say I'll be doing that. I don't have anything big planned yet. I know it should be big, but, chances are it'll just be a bunch of my friends hanging out at my place.

Weeeeeeeel........what's the legal age (rating) for viewing porn in Oz? That's what I mean....it's 18 in the UK, and at least that in the US.

's 18 for tobacco and porn, 21 for alcohol in the US.

Driving varies from state to state; as low as 14 in some southern states, as high as 18 in some others, IIRC...

14? I know they tend to marry their cousins down there, but thats just f#####g nuts!

Well M rated movies are 15+ iirc which can include some sex scenes.
If its hard core porn however it will hit an R18+ adults only rating.

So we have the three ratings that are recommendations, then an additional three ratings which are restricted by law.

But according to that, technically you could see sex before having it at the age of 15. Though I think its 16 for a woman to consent to sex yet 18 for men to have intercourse? Something weird like that.

Hardly matters anyway, as all the little kids these days are hitting it up as soon as the hormones kick in. Fortunatly, we do have some sexual education programs in our schools and available via the government and other tertiary institutes.

Though it is quite common these days to see girls drop out of high school because they fall preggers. =/

@ Sparhawk. Ah well, you could visit a state or country where its legal to drink at 18.
But most of the time, you don't need alchohol to have fun anyway. Just a few good mates and some recreational activities is all you need.
So yeah. Have fun.

Speaking of ages of consent and such, my niece has recently becoming pregnant, at 16.

Oh how I laughed.
Bloody Chav relatives.
