I heard years ago one of my friends I used to play World of Warcraft with said the expansion was banned in Australia at the time it came and he had to get it digitally or something ( I forget I want to say 15 or so years ago ). So not surprised cause if true seems like they ban just about anything and rather easily too.
Still surprised. From what I know of their history, culture and the Australians I've met "prudish" is not a word I would associate with them.

Our Censorship board is way behind the rest of the world, it took years to get an R18+ rating for games, and games are judged way harsher than movies with the same content. I'm old enough to remember Duke Nukem 3d had Adult mode locked off on release here, so no blood, roids had a different name and no pixelated stripper titties. It took about 5 minutes for the new fangled internet of the time to create a patch allowing that to be unlocked.

Exactly! We had prohibition (of alcohol) here for 15ish years and all it did was empower criminals. Yet we learned nothing and now they want to do it with other things...

At the time I got a friend of mine in the UK to mail me a copy of Duke Nukem 3D to Australia. The censorship happened mainly because at that time the looney who did the Port Arthur massacre and all the 'woke' people once again blamed a lot of it on computer games. I've been playing all types of computer games since the 80's and I've never had an urge to run around maiming people. Duke Nukem 3D was great fun and I played it a lot when I first got it.

I haven't played this since version 4.2. So I guess this is it....
Thanks for the hard work Drooskati. Many of us appreciate it.
Good Luck going forward from here!!! :)
