Decision No. 851

Decision of the Indecent Publications Tribunal

IN the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the matter of an application by the Comptroller of Customs for decisions in respect of the following publications: Action Kids by Terry Publications, London. Boy No. 1 by C.O.Q. International S/S, Copenhagen. Boys International Vol. 2, No. 5 and Vol. 2, No. 6 by S. & H. Publications, Harrow, England. Kim No. 6 (English Edition No. 1) by Don Busby Studios, London. Mick No. 2 by Kim Productions, Copenhagen. Naked Boyhood by Book Adventures of London and Auckland. Super Kids by Don Busby Studios, London. Young Rascals Vol. 2, No. 3 by Golden Cock Publications.

Date of Hearing: 16 October 1975 at Wellington.

Mr P. E. Leloir and Mr K. G. Murray appeared on behalf of the Comptroller of Customs.

Written submissions were received on behalf of the distributors, Waverley Publishing Co. Ltd.

DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL

All the books consist solely of photographs of young boys (pre-puberty upwards), mostly naked but some partly clothed. In general they consist of highly contrived and artificial poses, and clearly come within the third category of the 1968 Waverley decisions (93–103). The claim made by the distributor that several of them fall within the general category of naturist magazines is quite untenable. In the case of Boys International, some previous issues were the subject of decisions No. 618–20 (N.Z. Gazette, 15 March 1973, p. 486); that decision makes clear that the publication then included written material as well as photographs, and that the latter were naturally posed. Neither of these statements applies to the issues now before the Tribunal.

The Tribunal classifies these 10 publications as indecent.

16 December 1975.

L. M. GREIG, Chairman.
