The Daily Newds

• Queensland is the only state in Australia that does not have an official nude beach, and local nudists have turned out in numbers to support a 75 year old retiree who was incorrectly charged with being a public nuisance. Police have been forced to pay a fine, but it looks as though there is going to be a legal crackdown on the beach. For the last 30 years, the law has turned a blind eye to the nudists. So what has changed here? “I feel they’re just trying to harass nudists for something that is a very minor offence and is not hurting anybody. Surely there are other crimes more worthy of police attention,” says Free Beaches Australia Vice-President Anita Grigg.
• The Michigan Supreme Court has upheld a ruling that nudity on basic cable television can be prosecuted as indecent exposure. The ruling is an aberration according to a first amendment attorney, but the case could open the door for other jurisdictions to regulate cable "indecency". And to think this all started with Janet Jackson's nipple.
