Censorship in Australia

Censorship is when people in charge stop you or your friends from reading, watching or listening to certain things. It's like when your parents or teachers tell you that you can't watch a scary movie or play a video game that's not meant for kids.

In Australia, there are rules about what can be shown in movies, TV shows and even video games. Some things are not allowed because they might be too violent or scary for kids. There are also rules about things like sex and drugs, which are off-limits because they're not appropriate for little kids.

Even books and websites can be censored in Australia. Sometimes, books or websites might contain information that is not good for kids or could be harmful to people. In those cases, the government might ask for those things to be banned or edited.

But censorship is not just for kids. There are also rules around things like hate speech, which is when people say nasty things about other people just because they're different. In Australia, this kind of speech is not allowed because it could hurt someone's feelings or make them feel unsafe.

So censorship in Australia is all about making sure that people see, read and hear things that are safe and appropriate for them. It's like having someone look after you and protect you from things that might be bad for you.
