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:

Puritan No. 7, published by Puritan Publishing Co. Inc., Pennsylvania. The Best of Puritan, Vol. 1, published by Puritan Publishing Co. Inc., Pennsylvania. Hustler, Vol. 8, No. 10, published by Hustler Magazine Inc., California. Swedish Erotica, 5th edition, published by Swedish Erotica Ltd., California:

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: 7 October 1982.

Appearances: Mr McNiece for Comptroller of Customs.
Written submissions from importer, Mr R. W. Thompson.

Decision

These publications were imported privately and seized at Auckland Airport on 1 March. Forfeiture has been disputed by the importer so that they have been forwarded to the Tribunal for classification.

Puritan No. 7 is apparently published quarterly and is subtitled Adult American Dream Book—Ultimate in Erotica. The articles are sexually orientated and explicit in their detail. The illustrations are largely of males and females, many in posed and contrived positions with emphasis on genitalia.

The Best of Puritan is once again almost completely sexually orientated and as its title would suggest, contains articles and photographs from its parents.

Hustler, Volume 8, No. 10, is not dissimilar in content to Puritan and once again the Best of Hustler contains supposedly the best articles and illustrations from its parents.

A general comment can be made about Puritan No. 7 and issue No. 10 of Hustler. There is a minimal amount of serious content and insufficient other matter to offer any redeeming feature.

Swedish Erotica is supposed to be a complete full colour catalogue listing Adult Movies from the Swedish Erotica Series. There is little, if any, text; the bulk of the photographs being of men and women indulging in sexual activities in a variety of contrived and extraordinary positions.

It was the submission of the Comptroller that the 5 publications are predominantly concerned in arousing prurient interest, are likely to be injurious to the public good and are therefore indecent.

In his written submission the importer said:

'(a)' That he was a responsible adult.

'(b)' That the magazines would be read in privacy in his own home.

'(c)' The magazines would not be shown to minors and in fact any other person.

'(d)' The magazines would not be sold or lent to any other person.

'(e)' The forfeiture of the magazines would be considered to be an invasion of his personal rights or freedom of choice.

Therefore he claimed he should be allowed to retain the volumes.

For the benefit of the importer it is useful to quote section 11 (1) and (2) of the Indecent Publications Act which reads:

"11. Matters to be taken into consideration by Tribunal or Court—

(1)'In classifying, or determining the character of any book or sound recording the Tribunal shall take into consideration—

(a)' The dominant effect of the book or sound recording as a whole;

(b)' The literary or artistic merit, or the medical, legal, political, social, or scientific character or importance of the book or sound recording;

(c)' The persons, classes of persons, or age groups to or amongst whom the book or sound recording is or is intended or is likely to be published, heard, distributed, sold, exhibited, played, given, sent, or delivered;

(d)' The price at which the book or sound recording sells or is intended to be sold;

(e)' Whether any person is likely to be corrupted by reading the book or hearing the sound recording and whether other persons are likely to benefit therefrom;

(f)' Whether the book or the sound recording displays an honest purpose and an honest thread of thought or whether its content is merely camouflage designed to render acceptable any indecent parts of the book or sound recording.
