I was at the Matilda website and was making the following entry on the death Penalty. THE ENTRY WAS CENSORED.
 
 
Entry as proposed
 
Sassy- Thou shalt not MURDER. not the same as kill. After Moses brought down the law they headed off into the desert. They then come across various tribes in the promised land and KILL them. Well the men anyway. They marry the women. After a bit the captured women start to introduce the foreign Baals to the people. So Moses and the other rulers have a pogrom and kill some 20,000 Isrealites and their families. Much later on Saul's family loses its right to be the rulers of Israel because Sauls soldiers go someplace and fail to kill every living man, woman, child, cow, dog etc and instead bring the captives home. Joash (I think) is the one who traps the fallowers of Baal in a temple and kills them all (and makes the Temple into toilet cubicles)
The "thou shall not murder" meant that thou shall not murder me, or me you, but that this did not apply to the "state" which could sanction death for a variety of reasons. THE OFFENDING SENTENCE Adulters, blasphemers, murderers homosexuals and others all got stoned  (and not with marijuana) when appropriate. So saying I am against the Death penalty because having seen how the Justice system works in Australia as I fight the Gun laws I wouldn't trust our leaders with it.
 
The following error message occurred on trying to submit it.

An Error Has Occurred Processing This Directive


Hey, an error has occurred.

You have submitted content which has been deemed "offensive" by the Internet Censors. As per legislation passed by the Australian Parliament this year, providers of Internet content (the pages you see) , can be held liable for the content of those pages, even though they are not directly responsible for such content.

So I deleted "and not with marijuana" still didn't work
 
I then put the Marijauna bit back in and deleted "Adulters, blasphemers, murderers homosexuals and others all got stoned" and the entry was accepted.
 
I suspect that the word Homoseual was the problem- it seems it may now be a prohibited word
 
So this is how Australian Censorship works. Just as well we kept our GUNs
