Cairns bishop slams "hedonism" holidays

Cairns Bishop James Foley has slammed a nudist resort proposal to boost sagging tourism figures with swingers and sex parties.

The Courier Mail reports the White Cockatoo resort in Mossman, near Port Douglas, north Queensland, is promoting an adults only "anything goes" month of hedonism for March next year.

Owner of the White Cockatoo, Tony Fox yesterday said it was time to lift a self imposed swinger ban.

"It will be a hedonism resort, where anything goes for a month. We're not using the words sex or swingers, but it doesn't take rocket science to work out what it means."

Three years ago the controversial resort, once billed as the nation's top group sex hotspot for swingers, closed its doors to partner swapping after a series of out of control sex parties and orgies.

But Bishop Foley warned: "It might only end up cheapening the whole resort operation for a short term gain.

"Anyone who goes to a hedonist's party goes at their own risk.

"You've got to wonder what sort of people go and why. Where is the moral code of behaviour and how do you stop jealousies and fights?"

However, Cairns Regional Mayor Val Schier said she was not opposed to the "month of hedonism".
