No. 117

masturbation a prominent feature. The body positions and
facial expressions of the women are designed to impart
action and movement into the photographs to achieve the
maximum verisimilitude. In one case (Busts—“The Finish
Line”) text is directly in support of the “action”
photography.

(3) The publications have in many of them overtones of female
sexual deviation, and in one an explicit photograph of this.

(4) The texts are almost exclusively concerned with sexual
stimulation and arousal, and completely devoid of any
literary content, or even a gesture towards serious writing.
They are shallow to the extreme.

In the Tribunal’s view these submissions are careful and accurate.

In written submissions Mr Stapleton submitted that in the light
of Waverley new guidelines were set for this type of publication,
and he went on to say that the Tribunal in addition to any other
matters, should take into account how much Community standards
have changed over the years. His final submission was that the
publications referred to were similar in style, content, and
presentation to a publication Look, classified indecent in the hands
of persons under the age of 18.

The Tribunal cannot agree that the publications under
consideration warrant the same classification. For the reasons given
by Jeffries J., the Tribunal classifies all publications as indecent. By
way of comment, it should be noted that Kingsize and a publication
called 38–26–34 was classified by the full Court as indecent in
Waverley.
