POL was a magazine that ran from 1969 to 1986. Distinctively Australian, lively and intelligently sexy, POL expressed the preoccupations of a generation of Australians.

Originally conceived as a magazine for women, POL aimed for a wider readership of everyone interested in Australian culture. When Don Dunstan edited the magazine briefly in the early 1980s, he had the cover emblazoned with the slogan ‘POL delights in excellence, individuality, creativity and zest for life … Australians of the world unite and read POL – you have nothing to lose but your cultural cringe’
