History
Founding
''Honi Soit'' was created in 1929 to counterbalance ongoing criticism of Sydney University's students in the Australian media, which came to a head when students were alleged to have dressed a soldier's statue in women's underwear during a graduation festival.

'' referred to the incident as a "vulgar desecration", and students were described as "educated louts" for their actions.
An early edition of ''Honi'' sought to address the ongoing outrage with the stinging retort:
:"We expected gross exaggeration, and even invention, from certain Sydney journals. What we did not expect was that the journals which can generally be relied upon for sane, safe news would also exaggerate and distort in such a manner as to utterly mislead the general public... Even our apology was sneered at."
The new paper sought to paint the undergraduate varsity in a more favorable light, giving voice to the student's successes and their progressive opinions, a role which it has continued to pursue to the present.

, and the growth of the
civil rights revolution ''Honis left-wing and often radical voice helped the publication grow from its roots as a small university publication, with the paper and its alumni eventually playing a pivotal role in the culture of both Australia and Britain.
An important line of demarcation for ''Honi'' came in the 1960s with editors
Richard Walsh and Peter Grose's premature resignation to found ''
Oz'' magazine, a humorous publication in Australia and (later) Britain which came into conflict with legal authorities in both countries.
However, ''Oz'' did play a strong role in defining the comedic and radical sensibilities of future generations of ''Honi''.
''Honi'' became intricately associated with the
Sydney Push
The Sydney Push was an intellectual subculture in Sydney from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. Its politics were predominantly left-wing libertarianism. The Push operated in a pub culture and included university students, academics, manual w ...
during the 1960s, turning its focus from arts to politics for the first time, and a number of radical editors followed Walsh's tenure.

. The paper was described as "filthy and scurrilous" in the Legislative Council of NSW for their stance against the war, and former editor Richard Walsh was denied entry to the United States in 1966 for his outspokenness on the issue.
Despite this, the tide of public opinion eventually turned in ''Honis favour as the Vietnam War progressed, largely vindicating their editorial position (see
Opposition to the Vietnam War, Public opinion).
Being a left-wing student publication also put ''Honi'' at the forefront of the
civil rights movement

in Australia, with editorial content often directed towards defending the rights of Women, people of colour, LGBT people, and adherents of communism, at times when such views were still widely controversial.
The radicalism of ''Honi'' during the 1960s was not without its consequences. By 1967 the paper found itself without willing advertisers to fund its publication, and faced calls for its disestablishment from members of the University Senate. However the SRC declared the paper had become far too important to let it perish, and provided temporary funding on the condition that the publication be restructured back towards a more traditional newspaper, instating conservative editor

has named ''Honi Soit'' as the impetus for his initial entry into politics, having been inspired to begin writing to the paper by a "quirky" edition which "demonstrated how to build a nuclear bomb".
Controversies
As a counter-cultural publication, ''Honi'' has a long history of generating controversy dating back to its founding issue. The constant controversy surrounding the paper was lampooned in a 1967 edition which contained a cutout "special libel coupon" that would make it easier for readers to "sue ''Honi Soit'' for all it's got (two battered typewriters)".

"Vagina Soit"
In August 2013, the newspaper made international headlines after printing a cover featuring photographs of 18 vulvae. The newspaper was pulled from stands within hours after it was decided the censoring of the images was not sufficient. This was due to the fact that black bars placed over certain parts of the vulvae were not completely opaque.
A statement released by the female editors stated 'We are tired of society giving us a myriad of things to feel about our own bodies. We are tired of having to attach anxiety to our vaginas. We are tired of vaginas being either artificially sexualised (porn) or stigmatised (censorship and airbrushing). We are tired of being pressured to be sexual, and then being shamed for being sexual.'

ANZAC Day criticism
In 1958 ''Honi'' caused a media outrage over a story calling for the end of the ANZAC Day holiday. The paper argued that the national holiday was no longer treated as a veneration to the casualties of war, but rather as a national celebration and an excuse for inebriation, backing up the claims with photographs of drunken revellers at memorial events.

''Honi Soit'' was frequently in conflict with the police from the 1950s through to the 1970s for publication of what was considered indecent material, generally depicting nudity or erotica in various forms, often published to specifically antagonise the authorities.
Having won over public opinion by the mid 1970s, ''Honi'' continued its practice of occasionally featuring nudity up until the 1990s with little interference.
In 1995 the editors (including The Chaser's
Charles Firth) used their colour pages to create an advertisement for Union Board candidate Nick Purtell. The editors were fined $360 (the cost of an advertisement) and asked to apologise for the misuse of advertising space.
