Victorian Attorney-General Robert Clark has announced the introduction on 21 August 2014 of new legislation that specifically targets "sexting", the first in the nation. A parliamentary inquiry had looked into the issue of minors being automatically included on the state’s sex offenders register after sending explicit images among themselves. Under the new laws the practice will only constitute an offence if it occurs in "circumstances contrary to community standard of acceptable conduct"
