Welcome to the “NO” Page

This page lists councils that have refused to support a legislation aimed at clarifying outdated and vague laws around decency and public nudity.

These councils, without conducting public consultation, have made the decision to reject progress and maintain restrictive policies that are out of step with global standards.

By refusing to support the 2025 Decency and Public Nudity Bill, these councils are not just limiting their own growth and tourism potential—they are actively holding back economic opportunities for regional and rural communities across Australia.

✅ This bill is about legal clarity, inclusivity, and boosting local economies.
❌ Their rejection is a refusal to evolve, a missed opportunity for community engagement, and a roadblock to much-needed progress.

Should councils have the right to make such decisions without listening to their communities?
