What Is Happening To Australia?

Just recently Australia has banned the use of solariums by fair-toned people and people under the age of 18. This was all due to the death of a young woman who suffered from aggressive melanoma, which she claims may have been the cause of using solariums.

Australia is also considering the banning of hand-held laser pointers after being targeted at airplanes and helicopters. Their beams apparently alter the flight paths and causing the pilots severe headaches and blindness from the light.

Another thing is banned games. Australia has banned games like Soldier of Fortune: Payback and Postal Dude. These games, under the Australian law, has a rating higher than MA15+, and therefore refused to be sold because the highest rating that can be slapped on a game is MA15+.

Last example is Australia banning junk-food ads because children are getting overweight and obese. Shouldn't the parents be more responsible for this?

Australia creates a law just after an incident or if someone dies of something. In the long run, everything we do would be illegal. I understand that Australia is trying to be socially responsible by creating laws that would stop having an incident happen again, but in my opinion, Australia is not helping the progress of the country by doing this. I would consider this deprivation, and younger people who know they are banned from doing things will most likely do it to be "cool". It is not possible to ban everything to make everything better. I sense Australia is just doing this to be like a "Big Brother", so people cannot say anything because by the law, it was illegal. Therefore, they cannot be sued for it. This way the Australian government does not take any responsibility for any unlawful acts because people have acted against the legislation.
