Melbourne boys from Catholic schools launch a boycott against 21 Australian girlie magazines they deem unfit to read. The protest began in early June at St. Marys School West Melbourne with 86 pupils and has grown to about 350 participants.
Catholic merchants face boycotts as Catholic newsboys join the campaign while magazines remain on sale by hundreds of non Catholic boys. Publishers cite uncertain sales and fear wider spread as religious groups consider expanding the movement across Victoria state and possibly all six Australian states.
