Australia: land of the gagged

In its attempts to fight off Peta, which has a long-running campaign against mulesing – the removal of large pieces of flesh from lambs rumps, so that meriinos can be bred with more large flesh to be chopped off, the Australian government plans in future to sue anyone who launches a successful campaign against anything at all:

So if you’re asking Australians not to buy lipstick tested on caged rabbits, rugs woven by Pakistani slaves or suits made with mulesed wool, then pray your boycott calls don’t succeed, for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is about to be given the power to sue you out of the water if they do.
