Decision of the Indecent Publications Tribunal
No. 254
IN the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the
matter of an application by the Secretary for Justice for
decision in respect of the magazine Playboy, Volume 18, No. 1,
January 1971, published by HMH Publishing Co. Inc., Chicago.
DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL
Mr Armstrong appeared on behalf of the Secretary for
Justice but made no submissions.
Mr R. A. Heron appeared as counsel for the Publishers
and Gordon and Gotch (N.Z.) Ltd. the New Zealand distributors
and made written submissions which the Tribunal found
very helpful. Mr Heron called Mr F. A. Smith, General
Manager of the distributing company to testify as to the style
and content of the magazine and the policy as to distribution.
Issues of Playboy have been considered by the Tribunal on
two occasions. On 23 August 1965 six issues were held not to
be indecent (classification No. 21), and on 21 December 1967
another issue was held not to be indecent except in the hands of
persons under 17 years of age (classification No. 60).
The issue now before us does not appear to be substantially
different in content or presentation from those issues exonerated
on the first occasion, and contains nothing to parallel the
feature which led the Tribunal to apply a restrictive classification
to the issue of December 1967.
We classify the issue now before us as not indecent.

R. S. V. SIMPSON, Chairman.
