(a) Hard Core Magazines: The publications in this group include Fantasy Puck No. 1, Parklane No. 1, Ribald No. 561, Sex Paper No. 183, Sex Paper No. 181, Vibrations Vol. 6, No. 7, Vibrations May 1982, Bizar Sex Lovers No. 1, Xotica No. 4, Wishsvor Lage No. 11, Rodox Special Magazine No. 8, Exciting, Teenage Sex No. 15, Chick Licks No. 9, Porno Weekend and Baby Blue Anal.

This collection of books and magazines can be classified as hard core pornography. There is a limited amount of text in each publication and it is solely related to matters of sex.

(b) Paper Backs: The particular publications in this case are Penthouse Variations, Oui Letters, Randy Girls, From Here to Virginity, Us, Two and Women. Curiously Us, Two and Women have been imported commercially in Auckland and have been referred to the Tribunal for classification by the importer. Those 3 books have been dealt with separately and are the subject of Decision No. 14/84. So far as the remaining 4 are concerned the first 2 contain letters and articles explicitly relating to sexual adventures and experiences. There are no articles to give the books any pretence of literary or other merit. Randy Girls and From Here to Virginity are, as the Comptroller submitted, merely vehicles for weak sexually based stories with skimpy plots and no literary merit.

(c) The remaining 2 are Lingerie and Lace Vol. 3, No. 4 and Silk. These can be best described, again as submitted by the Comptroller, as girlie magazines depicting mainly nude and semi-nude models in predominantly unnatural poses.

It is possible to say of all of these publications that they are predominantly concerned with the lewd and prurient aspects of sex, that the subject matter is described or expressed in a patently offensive manner, that they have no literary or artistic merit and are not otherwise redeemed by other characteristics and that the likelihood of corruption far exceeds possible benefit. They are classified as indecent.

Parklane No. 1, Ribald No. 561, Sex Paper Nos 181 and 183 were said to have been imported by D. R. Page, Tauranga and the remainder by J. J. Fleet, also Tauranga.

Dated at Wellington this 28th day of June 1984.
