As recently as February 2004, Australian newspapers were again raising the question of how obscenity is defined. This project is the first comprehensive literary treatment of Australian obscenity censorship. It places the Australian case in context for similar studies in the UK and US, and particularizes it as an instance of colonial regimes. The publications that result will enhance the knowledge base of key stakeholders in that debate, from the Australian Film and Literature Classification Board to writers and other cultural producers, to public policy debates, and scholarship in the fields of literary, legal and cultural history in Australia.

就在2004年2月，澳大利亚报纸再次提出如何定义淫秽的问题。该项目是澳大利亚淫秽审查的第一个全面的文学处理。它将澳大利亚的案例置于英国和美国类似研究的背景下，并将其作为殖民政权的一个实例。由此产生的出版物将加强这一辩论中的主要利益攸关方的知识基础，从澳大利亚电影和文学分类委员会到作家和其他文化制作人，再到公共政策辩论，以及澳大利亚文学、法律的和文化史领域的学术研究。
