"The NSW government has announced it will retrospectively amend child pornography laws so police can lay charges without first having the material officially classified as pornography.
The move comes after pressure from the NSW opposition to have the laws amended to prevent any remote possibility of child pornography perpetrators getting off on a technicality.
NSW Attorney-General Bob Debus at first denied the amendments were in response to opposition leader John Brogden's push, instead saying they were being made on the advice of the Crown Advocate, the government's chief legal adviser.
'The Crown Advocate has advised NSW Police that the charges have been correctly laid, and that a court would be unlikely to accept the argument that a person cannot be charged before classification,'' Mr Debus said."
