I stole this from Robin Bougie :
POLYESTER BOOKS TO CLOSE DOWN?
On the 16th November 2005, Polyester Books of 330 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy VIC was raided and searched by several police officers with a search warrant. Several hundred videos and dvds - with an X-rating or deemed un-rated - were confiscated. While legal in Canberra and the Territories, X-rated material is considered illegal in Victoria. And while there’s potentially no problems ordering this material from international corporations like Amazon on the internet, we say - ‘Keep Your Aussie Porn Dollar in Australia’. We urge the powers that be to amend the legislation, permitting the legal buying and selling of X-rated content in Victoria and Australia-wide (not just in Canberra!)
Is Club X next? Is Polyester Books the first in a statewide crackdown on adult entertainment and the selling of x-rated material? Very soon - NO PORN IN VICTORIA! Is this what you want?
We are planning a campaign in response to this outrage that harks back to the dark ages of draconian Australian censorship.
Please support the concept of personal freedom and help us survive this trauma by donating to our legal fund and signing our petition online: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/polyester
in-store or at upcoming events.
Support Polyester - buy a Polyester T-Shirt online at www.polyester.com.au or come down to the store. We need your help.

Everyone that shops at Polyester and/or uses it to sell their stuff knows that it NEEDS to stick around. It's not like we have a great abundance of zine sellers.
I'll be heading there next week, so if you have something for sale there and I somehow don't know about it then please let me know.
