Here is De-Anne Kelly on the proposed change of the X-Rating to Non-Violent Erotica (NVE).
Quoted from:
Nationals backflip on erotica classification.
ABC The World Today 08.03.00
" After people had seen the dust cover of these videos, yes, there was, because it was quite plain that erotica does not equal hard core pornography, which is what this was and what it's trying to be, I guess, snuck in as. The reality is that X-rating, we all know what that means. I think that non-violent erotica was meant to sound a little bit art-house, and the reality is, having seen these, there's nothing arty about them, they're pornography, plain and simple, and we don't want to see that ultimately available in our suburban video store."
" The pornography industry is trying to soften the classification, soften people's resistance to hard core pornography, but ultimately, of course, softens States' opposition to selling this over the counter or hiring it in your local suburban video store, and I don't want to see that happen in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the States that quite properly have said that X rating means pornography, and that's the way it should stay."

Mr Nile was joined by three federal MPs - the
Nationals' De-Anne Kelly, Liberal Trish Draper and conservative Tasmanian
independent Brian Harradine - who all claimed the censorship board had
breached its own guidelines.

Baise-Moi controversy set to ensure full houses. SMH 23.04.05
National Party MP De-Anne Kelly also wrote to
Mr Williams after constituents in her north Queensland electorate raised
their concerns with her.
Although Mrs Kelly acknowledges she is relying on "third-hand
information" because she has not seen the film, she believed the
concerns raised with her were very real.
