Exchange Rates

IN terms of section 25 (2) of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1964, the Reserve Bank today released outer limits for rates of exchange to be used in transactions involving the conversion of New Zealand currency into foreign currencies and foreign currencies into New Zealand currency when delivery of the foreign currency dealt in will be effected by telegraphic transfer. The following range of rates, for the main currencies used by New Zealand traders in settling foreign exchange transactions, will remain in force until replaced by a new Schedule issued by the Reserve Bank. These rates do not apply to transactions for settlement after the expiration of 2 business days (forward transactions) or to transactions in which instruments are purchased which do not entitle the buyer to foreign currency balances in the foreign centre until the instruments have been delivered at the foreign centre. In the latter case interest at foreign centre rates may be deducted from the telegraphic transfer rate to compensate the purchaser for his loss during the transit period.

Date: 14 July 1981.

Time: 9 a.m.

Decision of the Indecent Publications Tribunal

IN the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the matter of an application by the New Zealand Police for a decision in respect of the following publication: Riding High, Volume 8, published by Woodhead Publications, Auckland:

BEFORE THE INDECENT PUBLICATIONS TRIBUNAL

Judge W. M. Willis (chairman), Mesdames H. B. Dick, L. P. Nikera, Messrs J. V. B. McLinden, I. W. Malcolm.

Hearing: 1 May 1981.

Decision: 14 July 1981.

Appearances: Inspector D. L. Bates for Legal Section, New Zealand Police. Mr J. Billington for Venuc Shop Ltd.

DECISION

A single copy of the magazine Riding High, Volume 8, was submitted to the Tribunal for a decision as to its classification by the New Zealand Police, pursuant to section 22 of the Indecent Publications Act 1963. The magazine came before the Tribunal as a result of a complaint being made to the New Zealand Police by an adult member of the public.

Riding High has the sub-title N.Z. Gay Magazine, and is obviously written for circulation to male homosexuals. The Tribunal finds itself in the difficult situation of having to give a decision which must weigh public opinion on the accessibility of the magazine against the obvious problem of its availability and the possible influences it could have on juveniles and young persons who may read it.

Inspector D. L. Bates of the Legal Section of New Zealand Police, in his submission, stated that the magazine “contains a mixture of serious articles, photographic studies
