Back in the 80s when I was 'touring' western NSW, there were stickers/flyers in the bus stops of Deniliquin (and other places like Forbes) from the 'League of Decency' advocating 'keeping our town nice'. Needless to say, those towns were then off my radar as a place to actually live. Dunno if the League of Decency still exists, but at that time it seemed to be closely associated with the local protestant churches.

Sounds like code for no First Australians allowed in town. 😠 So racist.
