ACMA also referred three items relating to a newspaper story about the death of a woman in an Iranian demonstration.
The first, a page from the Sydney Morning Herald website containing a video news story of the event, was found by the board to be PG, as the "context of genuine news reportage mitigates the impact of the violence" and appropriate viewer warnings were provided.
But a YouTube page and another website, both consisting of user-generated comments relating to the woman’s death and accompanying video, warranted R18+ classification.

Remember folks, if you get your news from a government-approved news source it's okay. If you get the same story from another source it's not.
