In the 1960s and 1970s, the Church of Scientology faced legal prohibitions in several Australian states, notably Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia. These states instituted inquiries and restrictions on Scientology's activities, at the request of the medical field and in response to its outlaying 'medical' practices. The Victorian government initiated a Board of Inquiry in 1963, resulting in the banning of Scientology in the state. Similar legal actions occurred in other regions, leading to varying degrees of restrictions. Over time, some of these restrictions were lifted, reflecting a complex and evolving legal history between the Australian government and the Church of Scientology. Join Holly & Matthew as they dig through the mud for what happened to get the church banned - and how they made their comeback.
