Press Releases
The Television and Entertainment Licensing
Authority (TELA) today (May 17) issued the following statement
regarding complaints against the contents of the Bible by
some members of the public:
"The Bible is a religious text which is
part of civilisation. It has been passed on from generation
to generation. TELA considers that such longstanding religious
texts or literature have not violated standards of morality,
decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable members
of the community. Therefore, TELA will not submit the Bible
to the Obscene Articles Tribunal for classification."
