What was censored by the Australian government to the Australians in World War 2?

The Australian Government censored everything to do with the war. In the attack on Darwin, other cities did not gain any real information as to what had happened. Or, the government scattered details over weeks, for example, in one week they would say that 4 people died today, the next week another 6 people died here. Anything that disclosed details of an attack were censored to stop mass panic on the homefront. This was not only newspapers but television and radio also. The government was given complete control of the media. Not only the media, but during war time a censorship board was established to censor soldiers letters home to families. Anything censored would just be blacked out.
