Purchasing banned books
Dear Victorian Department of Justice & Regulation,
Is it legal to purchase and read banned books? (eg. The Peaceful Pill, The Anarchists' Cookbook)
Yours faithfully,
Mario Knox
Hi Mario
The department cannot advise you of this information. I suggest you seek independent legal advice.
We provide access to documents held by our department. If you are seeking documents held by our department, you are welcome to submit an FOI request.
