Porn Queen's NT visit to get tough on porn crime

5/08/2008 10:56:00 PM.  | Yasmin Bright and Jesse Perez

American Porn Queen Bobbi Starr has used a visit to the Northern Territory to try to toughen laws on illegal pornography.

She has shown support for the sex industry lobby group, Eros, who have been fighting to introduce legislation that regulates pornography, similar to laws in the ACT.

Eros has claimed illegal and violent pornography has been imported to Australia through NT GPO boxes.

Ms Starr told the ABC: "If you have material with all that stuff coming and being distributed throughout the country and going into states where that is regulated (with specific laws to stop it), then that's really unfair to those that have set those laws."

Starr, who was brought up in an evangelical Christian household, sees herself as a pro-sex feminist and told LIVENEWS that porn can be empowering for women.

"I chose this career, I go to work, I choose to do the things that I do, and I don't do the things i don't want to do ?so how is that degrading?"

Despite saying she has only had a couple of negative experiences on the job in the two years she has been working, Starr says when she does have a bad experience it's not just your average bad day at work.

"There is some other variable in the mix that makes you feel uncomfortable, makes you feel out of control."

In spite of this, Starr won't take muscle with her to a job. "My protection is my voice".
