Stockade is a 1971 Australian musical film directed by Hans Pomeranz and Ross McGregor and starring Rod Mullinar.
[2] The film was based on a musical play by Kenneth Cook which had been commissioned by the New South Wales Drama foundation and first performed in March 1971 at the Independent Theatre in Sydney.
[1] In December 1971 the MP for Ballarat, Dudley Erwin, criticised the use of government money to make Stockadeas it contained brothel scenes, and asked for it to be withdrawn from circulation.
Hans Pomeranz and Kenneth Cook complained that the NSW government refused to enforce the Film Quota Act but at the same time prevented public screenings in unlicensed halls, stopping Australian producers from finding alternatives to screen their films.
Hans Pomeranz issued a formal demand to Eric Willis, chief secretary of the NSW government for an inquiry into the New South Wales industry.
