Australian Christian moves to Censors Adrian Lyne's film Lolita

Australia is historically the most censorial of all so'called "democracies". The current conservative creep which has Australia censor films which Europe and the USA can see freely began with Christian moral outrage over the Adrian Lyne film version of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita in 1999-2000. Lolita vs. God' Law is an extract from a larger treatise on Australian film censorship which examines the Christian moves to censor the film and its repercussions on the Australian film and literature classification system.
