Craig Silvey’s books pulled from WA and Victoria curricula after child exploitation material charges

The withdrawal of Silvey's works from educational settings underscores the severe implications of criminal charges, particularly those involving child exploitation. This incident not only affects Silvey's career but also raises questions about the impact on students and educators who have engaged with his literature. The swift action taken by educational authorities reflects a zero-tolerance approach to safeguarding children, but it also highlights the complexities of separating an artist's work from their personal conduct.
