The ‘war on bottoms’ continues in Australia


The war waged against bottoms continues and, in the latest siege of cruelty, Australian authorities are vowing to regulate the sale of poppers.

Last year, the Therapeutic Goods Administration shelled plans to restrict the purchase of poppers, typically sold in adult sex shops, to pharmacies.

However, plans to continue with this have been brought back, officials confirmed to The Star Observer. Meaning that adult entertainment shops and suppliers will be unable to stock poppers from February 1.


Instead, poppers will only be attainable from a qualified health practitioner, with a medical prescription needed for therapeutic use.

Amyl nitrates will be available at drugstores without the need for a prescription.
