Satire looks to be a no-go, and the farting would appear to fall under this as well.

You do realise that the fart noise was added by the Daily Show, don't you?

From what I gather, the images themselves cannot be used for satire. Satire of the politicians, while using perfectly acceptable images, is fine.

Interesting that the media didn't comment on the increase of powers that they have now. For example, it was previously illegal to splice "reaction" shots while the speaker was talking. This is now acceptable behaviour (read "Television coverage rules" number three). Also, if you look further into the bill, you will see that even Dr Cullen admits that "The matters around satire, ridicule, and denigration I think will need to be watched carefully and interpreted carefully, and not interpreted in a foolish or unnecessarily restrictive fashion.".
