This is unbelievable! After our critical coverage of Kerry Stokes his Seven West Media has seemingly retaliated against us, trying to double the cost to print the paper in WA.

Cumberland *councillor* cited concerns about sexualising kids motivating vote to ban books depicting same-sex couples. So are science books being banned too? What about books on reproductive health? Anatomy books have gotta be out. Veterinary science. Surely it’ll all have to go.
