Decision No. 1042
Reference No. Ind 26/82

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. 2, No. 5, published by Paul Raymond Publications Ltd., London;

Men Only Vol. 47, No. 5, 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: 15 September 1982.

Decision: 28 October 1982.

Appearances: Mr McNeice for Comptroller of Customs. Written submissions from importer, M. J. Thomas.

DECISION

SINGLE copies of these magazines were privately imported and seized from Rotorua parcels post in July of this year. Forfeiture was disputed by the importer so that the publications are submitted to the Tribunal for classification prior to the commencement of condemnation proceedings.

Both magazines are published by the same company and are similar in style consisting as they do of pictures and text. The photographs are of nude and semi-nude females in most cases displaying genitalia in posed positions. The articles in the magazine are predominantly concerned with sex.

It was the submission of the Comptroller that both magazines should be classified as indecent. Mr Thomas made lengthy submissions at the end of which he suggested that the magazines should be classified as indecent in the hands of persons under the age of 18. Those submissions have been given full consideration but for various reasons they must be rejected.

Men Only has previously received consideration by this Tribunal and by Decision 876, Vol. 40, Nos. 11 and 12 and Vol. 41, No. 1, were considered indecent. Recently both Men Only and Escort were considered by the Tribunal and in Decision No. 1034 were classified as indecent. Mr Thomas has suggested that these publications are similar to Penthouse or Playboy. The Tribunal is not prepared to accept that submission simply because Playboy and Penthouse contain a larger number of serious articles which are almost entirely lacking in these 2 publications.

In the view of the Tribunal these publications must be classified as indecent.

W. M. WILLIS, District Judge Chairman.
