Banned Books – Brisbane

Banned Logo

During most of the 20th century Australia was one of the strictest censors in the western world. Most imported publications were closely inspected before being released, and Australia would frequently ban what was considered suitable reading in England, Europe and America. This seminar will look at the history of censorship and of course, what was banned in Australia!

Morning tea provided. Parking available.
