Over here at the moment there has been a bit of a media frenzy over the upcoming exhibition of photography by artist Bill Henson.
Even the Prime Minister has weighed into the debate by calling it "revolting" and that the images have "no artistic merit".

What are the views on art & censorship here?
Does it make a difference if the artist, like Henson is, is "internationally renowned"?
