The Australian: Law on witches vanishes [July 22, 2005]
Victorian Attorney-General Rob Hulls said the repeal of the state's Vagrancy Act, which contained the anti-witchcraft laws, was about bringing legislation into the 21st century.
"Gone are the days when witchcraft and fortune-telling posed a threat to law and order, so the offences will now go up in a puff of smoke."
He said only one person had ever been charged with witchcraft in Victoria, and the charge was dismissed.
Gavin Andrew of the Pagan Awareness Network said the legislation was outdated and discriminatory. "There will be several thousand pagans celebrating under the full moon tonight."
