No. 862

Decision of the Indecent Publications Tribunal

IN the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the matter of an application by Patrick Campbell, acting on behalf of Waverley Publishing Co. Ltd. for a decision in respect of the publication Story of O, by Pauline Reage, published by Grove Press, of New York.

BEFORE THE INDECENT PUBLICATIONS TRIBUNAL

Messrs L. M. Greig (Chairman), D. M. Wylie, I. R. Cross, Mrs L. Edmond, and Miss W. M. Rolleston.

Hearing: 14 June 1976.

Appearances: No appearances but written submissions were received from the applicant.

DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL

This is a paper-back edition of a book which was before the Tribunal in November 1967 (Decision No. 54, New Zealand Gazette, 23 November 1967). Its circulation was then restricted among professional psychiatrists.

It is now urged on us that this classification is out of date, having regard to changed classifications of other books, the distribution in other countries of a film version, favourable reviews by well known writers, and changes in the climate of public opinion.

As was said by the tribunal previously the book is in the tradition of de Sade but it is, in our view, worse and remains indecent.

The tribunal classifies this book as indecent unless its circulation is restricted to professional psychiatrists and clinical psychologists.

Dated this 23rd day of July 1976.

LAURENCE M. GREIG, Chairman.

BEFORE THE INDECENT PUBLICATIONS TRIBUNAL

Messrs L. M. Greig (Chairman), D. M. Wylie, I. R. Cross, Mrs L. Edmond, and Miss W. M. Rolleston.

Hearing: 14 June 1976.

Appearances: No appearances but written submissions were received from the applicant.

DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL

These two publications of the Victorian era have been resubmitted to the tribunal in the belief that the restrictions on their circulation, imposed by previous decisions, are either difficult of enforcement or out of keeping with changing
