The Daily Aus

Earlier this week, the Australian Government announced it will be sending aircraft, weapons and troops to the Middle East amid the ongoing conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran.

In case you missed it, people can no longer watch porn on Pornhub, unless you have an existing account. And if you don’t have an existing account, well, you can’t create one. That’s because of a new code that came into force in Australia yesterday that requires all porn sites to verify the ages of its users. We’ll discuss the new laws and why PornHub has responding by shutting off most access to its website in today’s podcast.
