Decision

Each of these publications was imported as a sample copy by a commercial importer, seized by the Customs Department and came before us on disputed forfeiture.

Six of these publications are picture books of nude females with special emphasis on the size of their breasts. Three of them, namely Foxette, Volume 1, No. 5; Foxette, Volume 1, No. 2; and T. & T., Volume 1, No. 2, are the same as the first six but include more text. Sex Objects is a photographic study of massage parlour girls which includes the text of interviews with some of the girls. This last book is different from the others and will be dealt with separately.

The Tribunal has carefully considered the nine picture books in light of the matters to be taken into account under section 11 of the Act. The Tribunal’s conclusion is that the books all fall within the third category described in the 1968 Wavcrlcy Decisions. The dominant effect of these publications is an appeal to prurience with photographs which are in the main unnatural and artificial and frequently ugly and contrived. Even those publications which have some text are in no way redeemed by that. In each case the emphasis on nudity in the way it is represented is objectionable and indecent.

Sex Objects is described as a photo documentary published in America which purports to be a study in text and photography, neutrally represented, on the theme of women who make money through their bodies. After a careful consideration of the book the Tribunal has some doubts as to the honesty of purpose and believes that the overall effect is rather a camouflage, which is intended to render acceptable parts of the publication which are indecent. Some of the text and some of the photographs are clearly indecent. The purported documentary treatment and the other parts of the publication when viewed in conjunction with the parts which are indecent do not, in our view, redeem or outweigh the overall effect.

The Tribunal classifies each of these 10 publications as indecent.

Dated at Wellington this 22nd day of August 1979.
