People found in possession of child-like sex dolls could be jailed for up to 10 years under a law change proposed by a South Australian state MP, prompting support from political rivals who say federal reforms are taking too long.

Me: "What's taking them so long? This one looks like it was modelled on Madeleine McCann."
