Registered child sex offenders in Australia will be stuck in a giant penal colony (known as Australia) under a proposed law:

Australia's estimated 20,000 registered child sex offenders would lose their passports under a new law that government officials say is aimed at preventing convicted pedophiles from victimizing children overseas. Officials call the proposal a "world first" in the fight against child sex tourism.

"This new legislation represents the toughest crackdown on child sex tourism by any government, anywhere," Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said, adding that Australia is "determined to prevent the sexual exploitation of vulnerable young children overseas."

    Yes, all over the middle east and much of Africa. And what's cool is that there's no limit to what you can bag for your trophy wall.

    Right, because killing animals is the moral equivalent of murder?

    I guess all non-vegetarians might as well be murderers, huh?

    I do hope you're a troll rather than a moron.

      Don't be a dope. I'm talking about the sport of human warfare that's so popular and profitable in those areas.

      *wow! I'm like, totally flummoxed*
