An overview of cases and instances over history where Australians were caught doing rude things, be it holding nude parties or trying to read "Lady Chatterly's Lover" and the like.

Some interesting examples of the prudish country administered by wowsers that Australia was before progress (and Senator Don Chipp, who was responsible for lifting the bans on many banned works of literature) meant we could bore ourselves shitless trying to read and understand "Ulysses". ( )
