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 in respect of the following publication: Hollywood Rated X, published by Hollywood Publications, Washington, D.C., U.S.A.

BEFORE THE INDECENT PUBLICATIONS TRIBUNAL

His Honour Judge Willis (chairman),

Mesdames L. Edmond, H. B. Dick, L. P. Nikcra, and Mr J. V. B. McLinden.

Hearing: 22 July 1980.

Appearances: Mr P. E. F. M. LeLoir for Comptroller of Customs. Written submission by Murray J. Swann.

Decision

Hollywood Rated X is a single copy of a private importation seized at Christchurch in April 1980. As Mr Swann has disputed forfeiture, the Customs Department has referred the publication to the Tribunal for classification prior to the commencement of condemnation proceedings pursuant to the Customs Act 1966.

Book type and length: Hollywood Rated X is a soft covered publication some 65 pages long. The publication measures 21 cm × 27.5 cm. There is little text and the main part of the publication is given over to a display of black and white photographs.

The primary purpose of the publication seems to be to publish photographs of naked male American personalities. The publication’s inside cover advertises a cash reward for nude photos of famous people.

Mr Leloir for the Comptroller of Customs contended that the publication was primarily concerned with displaying nude or near nude males with considerable emphasis on the genital area. He stated that the magazine was designed to arouse prurient interest, that there was no literary or other merit in the publication, and that there was considerable doubt as to the honesty of purpose of the publisher.

Mr Swann made a short written submission which went little further than merely to state his view that his magazine was not indecent and that his rights as a New Zealand citizen had been abused in that his mail had been opened and the publication had been seized.

The Tribunal accepts Mr Leloir’s submissions. The Tribunal rules that the publication deals with sex in a manner that is injurious to the public good for a combination of the following reasons.

Neither the object of, nor the content in, the publication is of any social or artistic merit. There are numerous photographs depicting males in a patently offensive manner so as to draw the reader’s attention to the prurient and lewd aspects of sex. In the circumstance the Tribunal has grave doubts as to the sincerity of purpose of the publisher.

For the above reasons the Tribunal classifies Hollywood Rated X as indecent.

Dated at Wellington this 11th day of November 1980.

Judge W. M. WILLIS, Chairman.
