Decision No. 1034
Reference No. Ind 17/82

Before 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 a decision in respect of the following publications:

Escort Vol. 1, No. 12; Vol. 2, Nos. 1 and 2, published by Paul Raymond Publications Ltd., London.

Club Vol. II, Nos. 1, 2, 3, published by Paul Raymond Publications Ltd., London.

Men Only Vol. 46, No. 12; Vol. 47, Nos. 1 and 2, published by Paul Raymond Publications Ltd., London:

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

Hearing: 21 July 1982.

Decision: 5 October 1982.

Appearances: Mr McNeice for Comptroller of Customs.

DECISION

THESE sample publications were all submitted by Gordon and Gotch (NZ) Ltd, for classification, presumably prior to placing orders for further copies. The Tribunal was informed that the company did not wish to be represented nor did it make any written submissions.

Club Magazine—There is a limited amount of text in each issue. One article is not sexually orientated but the rest of the publication comprises articles of a sexual nature and photographs of women largely in contrived and posed positions all exposing genitalia.

Men Only and Escort—These are similar in content and although some of the articles are not devoted to sexual subject they do little, as the Comptroller submits, to offset the aims of the magazine, which are predominantly concerned with the prurient and lewd aspects of sex. It should be pointed out that Men Only, Volume 40, Nos. 11 and 12, and Volume 41, No. 1, were classified as indecent by the Tribunal in decision No. 876 on 20 November 1976. All publications are predominantly concerned with lewd aspects of sex with an appeal to the prurient. They lack literary or artistic merit and have no redeeming features. The likelihood of corruption outweighs possible benefit and in the Tribunal’s view they are injurious to the public good.

They are therefore classified as indecent.

W. M. WILLIS, District Judge, Chairman.

Decision No. 1035
Reference No. Ind 10/82

Before 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 a decision in respect of the following publications:

PFI Quarterly Issue 12 folio No. 3,
Pin Pals PFI Roster No. 12, published by Gauntlet Enterprises of Los Angeles:

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

Hearing: 25 May 1982.

Decision: 5 October 1982.

Appearances: Mr McNeice for Comptroller of Customs. No submissions by importer, Mr J. C. McMullen.

DECISION

THESE are single copies from a private importation seized at Auckland. As the importer has disputed forfeiture, classification is sought by the Comptroller. The first 2 publications have some text in addition to the mainly genital photographs depicting body jewellery. The last publication contains mainly advertisements soliciting contacts from sexually deviant persons interested in body piercing. These magazines and mail order catalogues consist of advertisements for genitalia jewellery and information on body piercing for both men and women. They have no artistic merit and are certainly injurious to the public good. Some of the illustrations might well induce some form of experiment, with resultant physical or even fatal injury.

The Tribunal classifies them all as indecent.

W. M. WILLIS, District Judge, Chairman.
