Comments The Watch on Censorship group consists of individuals who are focussed on examining censorship over all forms of media.
Synopsis Jane Mills' article is a heated discussion on the topic of film censorship in Australia, in which she passionately defends an adult's right to freedom of speech and expression.



Mills uses terms such as "bizarre", "silliness", "hypcritical", and "absurdity" to describe what she perceives as more of a "circus" than a democratic system.



A memorable quote: "An art form which relies upon a distinction between fantasy and actuality by using realism to represent the illusion of reality, is completely lost on our classifiers and censoring Ministers."
