First world politics. <p>Parliament&#8217;s legal advisers believe that the proposed Film And Publication Amendment Bill (which we&#8217;ve <a href="http://politics.za.net/articles/2006/10/14/media-censorship-doing-it-for-the-kids">covered</a> <a href="http://politics.za.net/articles/2006/09/28/take-a-stand-against-censorship">before</a>) <a href="http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&#38;click_id=6&#38;art_id=nw20070508151430528C254142">is unconstitutional</a>. Hopefully this will stop this idiotic piece of legislation from being passed but there&#8217;s always the chance the <span class="caps">ANC</span> will push this through parliament to be rubberstamped into law.</p> <p>This law is as stupid as the <a href="http://politics.za.net/articles/2006/09/18/rica-stumbles-ahead"><span class="caps">RICA</span> Amendment Bill</a> (which I haven&#8217;t seen any activity over in almost a year).
