Australian Prime Minister In Debate Over Nude Photos]]> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/28/cate-blanchett-vs-austral_n_103847.html SYDNEY, Australia &mdash; A debate over censorship versus art raged in Australia on Wednesday, nearly a week after police shut down an exhibit by a leading Australian photographer and confiscated portraits of nude teenagers.

The exhibit by Bill Henson was shut down before it could even open last Thursday night. Since then, two other galleries in New South Wales state have removed his work from their walls. Police said Wednesday they are still investigating whether the photographs violate obscenity laws.
