A few small errors of fact in it, but a mostly accurate article.

On the subject of censorship, Sydney Morning Herald, 29/3/96:
http://www.smh.com.au/daily/content/970329/national/national7.html
"The issue of X-rated videos and R-rated material on pay TV is due to be
considered by Cabinet on Tuesday." That is, on April Fool's Day.
