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:

“Een Jonge Reporter Aan De Rol”, published by Bastaard-Uitgeverij, Amsterdam;

“De Avonturen Van Suske En Wiske”, published by Bastaard-Uitgeverij, Amsterdam;

“Nog Meer Sexavonturen Van Lucky Luke No. 2”, publisher unknown.

Chairman: Judge W. M. Willis.

Members: H. B. Dick, L. P. Nikera, J. V. B. McLinden and I. W. Malcolm.

Hearing: Wellington, 23 May 1984.

Appearances: J. C. D. Groot, importer; C. F. Hillman for Comptroller of Customs.

DECISION

These publications were privately imported through Wellington sea freight in March 1984. They were seized but as the importer disputed forfeiture they have been referred to the Tribunal for classification.

The importer bought these publications in Holland and because he said he had seen publications of a similar type in New Zealand he thought there would be no trouble when they were imported. Each publication comes from Holland but Lucky Luke shows no publisher’s name nor is there any indication of the place of publication. The text is in Dutch so that most persons in this country would have no idea of what has been written other than by reference to the cartoons. The cartoons are sexually orientated and are coarse in the extreme. There is no literary or artistic merit. The Comptroller drew our attention to section 11(3) which reads:

“When the Tribunal decides that any picture story book likely to be read by children is indecent in the hands of children under a specific age that picture story book shall be deemed to be indecent in the hands of all persons.”

It was submitted that the publications should be considered indecent even without reference to section 11(3). We agree. Each publication is classified as indecent.

Dated at Wellington this 25th day of June 1984.

JUDGE W. M. WILLIS, Chairman.
