Censorship was introduced so it would keep the Allied and German populace in the dark about the enormous casualties in their countries' armies. It was also introduced so that gruesome pictures weren't published and so would lower morale.

The Australian government didn't want anyone from the opposition of the war to find out any information that could be used against Australia, Great Britain or anyone else in the alliance we were part of.

One very important consideration was that Australia had a volunteer army. That is we did not have conscription. There fore the Australian government could not force people to go to war. by keeping the population of Australia in the dark about the carnage in Europe they hoped to keep up enlistment numbers.
