The Australian Sex Party has launched its 2013 election bid – with a raft of    and a tongue-in-cheek campaign ad.

At the crux of the campaign is the tagline, “we keep getting fucked”.

The party is campaigning for same-sex marriage, better hospital care, the decriminalisation of marijuana, and compulsory sex education.

The campaign video is fronted by the party’s president and Victorian senate candidate Fiona Patten. She says: “There is too much fucking going on in Australia.”

The ad then shows people “getting fucked” on various civil issues.

“If civil liberties are important to you, the vote for the Australian Sex Party because, as much as we like sex, we keep on getting fucked,” concludes Patten.
