No. 845
Decision of the Indecent Publications Tribunal
In the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the matter of an application by the Acting Comptroller of Customs for decisions in respect of the following publications: Penthouse International Magazine, Vol. 5, No. 11 and 12, Vol. 6, No. 1, 2, 3, and 4, published by Penthouse International Ltd. of New York.
Date of Hearing: 2 April 1975 at Wellington.
Mr M. G. Howley appeared on behalf of the Acting Controller of Customs and made submissions. Mr R. A. Heron appeared on behalf of the distributors and made submissions.
DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL
The functions of the Tribunal set out in section 10 of the Act are to determine the character and classify any book submitted to it. Each issue of a magazine is treated as a separate book.
In the past a number of issues of Penthouse have been submitted to the Tribunal for individual consideration. Pursuant to section 15A as enacted by section 5 of the Indecent Publications Amendment Act 1972 a restriction order was made in respect of Penthouse (Decision No. 830, New Zealand Gazette, 24 October 1974). That order remains in force for 2 years from 18 October 1974 and states that issues of Penthouse during that period are to be treated as indecent in the hands of persons under 18 years of age.
The Comptroller of Customs has now submitted to these six further issues of Penthouse.
These are submitted in ordinary form for decision as to whether they are indecent or not or for a decision as to their classification. The form of the application and the advertisement of the application do not amount to an application under section 15A (4) for a revocation or variation of the terms of the restriction order. Mr Howley for the Comptroller, in his submissions at the hearing, asked us to vary the restriction order "to provide an 'unconditionally indecent' classification".
