Well I lived in Darlynhurst and pretty much that law isnt ever enforced there.  Maybe a kids park but I didnt spend much time at childrens parks. Mostly home, Fox studios, or on location.  Those 19% seem to cause lots of problems. http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/antigay-rights-to-stay-20130115-2crma.html

I mean wow that makes Hobby lobby and the Catholic church look like crazy super leftist.

Well in the US you can take figure drawing class at whatever age your
parents take you. Only the models need to be of legal age to be nude.  Any
age restrictions are self imposed or local laws.   I have seen from 12-18
to just needed parental consent below 18.  I realize Australia as an even
more crazy religious right then even the US but I would find it hard to
believe that there are age restrictions in Sydney and Melbourne. I can't
imagine all those French in Surry think their needs to be an age limit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Australia  31% no stated religion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_United_States   19.l6%

religion doesn't hold much sway here so I'm not sure if it's religion, we are a socialist country though, even our 'right wing' government is only right wing of far left.. Socialism tends to take the view that authority holds sway over individual rights, so that may be why our laws are so restrictive and individual liberties are not as enthusiastically supported as in the US.

"New South Wales, the law just states that offensive language shall not be used within hearing distance of a public place, or a school"

yup.  not so good for the old aussie image ..

As to an under 18 being exposed to nudity, that can be taken as a pretty serious offense - there was a bit of a fuss from some staff, but when they saw the consequences of what they may face, they quickly backed down.
