Extract from the Bill Henson Art Censorship Debate in 2008 Clive Hamilton and David Marr discuss points of difference regarding matters of censorship. Clive in his prepared speech noted :"There is no censorship worth noting in Australia" and then raises the issue of the censorship laws in this country, but although he considers that Bill Henson's images weren't pornographic he decries the fact they were mailed out and posted on the Internet. David Marr points out that the censorship system which Clive acknowledges exists rated them PG which means that anyone can view them whatever the medium. This short extract taken from the 2 hour Art Censorship debate 12th June 2008:- Art Censorship: The Bigger Picture (Australian Broadcasting Corporation ) fora.tv ------------------ earlier debate A seven minute teaser from the Bill Henson Art Debate www.youtube.com There is no censorship worth noting in Australia www.clivehamilton.net.au

This video is from Sky News and reproduced in accordance with the principles of this channel as there is concern that further unjustified "moral outrage" is emerging from conservative forces (of which there are many in this country).
