Some of those vases from ancient greece/rome depict sexual actions.As I said. I found it funny and I understand the point of it and have no issue with it attacking Pell and Abbott with the outfits. The problem is the sexual nature of it.
Nudity is fine. The nude statues in Greece and Rome are artistic and tasteful. This was deliberate sexual beyond that which little children should be exposed to without their parents being able censor it themselves.
Do the same artwork without one guy jerking off the other and I'll call for it to get a heritage listing.
I can definitely see the concern parents would have if their kids saw it, however an innocent kid without knowledge of such things would probably not notice it. I'd think parents have enough tools at their disposal to answer inquisitive young minds, whether that be sitting down and explaining it or just brushing it off.
In any case it seems like there are group of Christians who've taken it as a personal attack against their religion, when it isnt. And then there's the George Michael mural as well, it has absolutely nothing to do with Christianity and yet the same group have claimed victim status. But looking at the guy who painted over the George Michael mural I'd understand that these concepts would be way over his head.
