|description_of_incident=Hours before the exhibition was arranged to go on display, tourist authority "Destination New South Wales" demanded the removal of some photographic works. Nearly half of the participating artists--15 out of the 39 photojournalists--had work censored and excluded from the exhibition. Defending its decision, the tourist authority shared that the censored photographs were "too distressing" and "not family friendly". | |description_of_incident=Hours before the exhibition was arranged to go on display, tourist authority "Destination New South Wales" demanded the removal of some photographic works.
