S5 E3 All the antis: Shatter ‘Laura’ (1989)

A bestseller in 1989, nobody took any offense at this slim novel by a prominent politician and solicitor until 2013. A silly, weird and revealing referral of ‘Laura’ the censorship board led to some interesting political gymnastics.

In spite of the tagline, it’s not that memorable.
