No topless beaches

Some  state MPs lead by Fred Nile want to ban women bathing topless on our beaches:

With women increasingly going au natural, conservative powerbrokers from all sides of State Parliament yesterday supported a ban on topless bathing.


Local councils currently don't fine or prohibit topless bathers as they do not regard bare breasts as nudity.


Liberal powerbroker David Clarke and Labor MP Paul Gibson yesterday vowed to support a Bill by Reverend Fred Nile that would ban nudity at popular beaches like Bondi, Manly and Coogee.

Mr Gibson had this to say:

Labor MP Paul Gibson said topless women made people feel uncomfortable.
"If you're on the beach do you want somebody with big knockers next to you when you're there with the kids," he said.

So I take it he doesn’t mind big knockers when he’s at the beach without the kids.

That local councils are not trying to stop it indicates to me its not a big issue. Surely they have more important things to do a Macquarie Street.
