DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL

PREVIOUS issues of Oui have been considered by the Tribunal in October 1973 and in March 1974. On these occasions the issues for May and June 1973, and for February 1974, were found to be indecent in the hands of persons under the age of 18 years, while the issue for July 1973 was declared to be indecent.

The issue now before us, appearing a year later than those originally considered, indicates that the magazine is keeping fairly close to the type of presentation discussed in the first of our earlier decisions (No. 745-7, New Zealand Gazette, 1 November 1973, p. 2259). The presentation of sex for entertainment and amusement, accompanied by fairly lightweight articles and features on other subjects, the particular type of feature which caused the July 1973 issue to be found wholly indecent, is not present in the June 1974 issue. However, the explicit nature of some of the material and the generally indulgent tone of the magazine's approach to sexual matters continue to make it unsuitable for younger readers.

The Tribunal accordingly classifies Oui, Vol. 3, No. 6, June 1974, as indecent in the hands of persons under the age of 18 years.

28 November 1974.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this order, and subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, the Tribunal, on application by any retailer, may authorise special maximum prices in respect of any Californian oranges to which this order applies where special circumstances exist, or for any reason extraordinary charges (freight or otherwise) are incurred by the retailer.
