The reasoning behind banning censorship is based on history.

When citizens are not free to speak out against the government, the government becomes unaccountable.

The French Revolution and the American Revolution come to mind. Truth is, even when censorship was illegal, anger grew within a society, eventually it leads to beheading a Monarch... or an all-out war. Either way: there's death and destruction.

What does Socrates say about 'censorship' in Plato's Republic book three?

I do not know entirely myself, but this might help answer that syllabus question:

"In books II and III of the Republic, Socrates asserts that the stories told in his city must be censored before they are told to the citizens and guardians. Socrates finds stories in three main genres particularly problematic. These three genres are stories about the gods and heroes, the underworld of Hades, and stories about human beings. In this paper I will do four things. First, I will address Socrates' overarching argument for censorship: the impressionability of the general population and youths in particular. Then, I will describe the three genres of stories. After each description, I will address Socrates' argument for censoring that particular type of story. Finally, I will address the validity of Socrates' arguments. "

Why was there censorship during World War 1 in Australia and when was it introduced?

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.
