    "Australia's censorship system is often the subject of controversy. In recent years there has been debate over the classification of films such as Hannibal, Lolita and Romance, as well as the proposal to replace the 'X' category with 'NVE' (non-violent erotica) and the introduction of Internet censorship. There have also been recent changes to the censorship legislation and a review of the classification guidelines is currently being undertaken."
