THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE
No. 3
type publications have been considered by the Tribunal several times
so that its views should be well known. (See Decision 1036, 1039,
1061, and 1070).
Both publications are classified as indecent.
Dated at Wellington this 20th day of December 1983.

Decision No. 1086
(Ref. No. IND. 29/83)
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
decision in respect of the following publications:
Rustler, Vol. 7, No. 9, Gold Star Publications, U.K.
Home Grown International, Vol. 1, No. 10, Alchemy
Publications, U.K.
Chairman: District Court Judge Willis,
Members: H. B. Dick, L. P. Nikcra, J. V. B. McLinden, I. W.
Malcolm.
Hearing: at Wellington on the 13th day of December 1983.
Appearances: No appearances of Importer, D. Agnew, Wellington.
C. Hillman for Comptroller of Customs.
DECISION
These publications were privately imported through Wellington and
seized July 1983. The importer disputed forfeiture prior to the
commencement of the condemnation proceedings.
Rustler is an English publication and can be called a fully
illustrated catalogue of sex aids. There are a series of articles all of
a sexual nature but having no literary merit. There are pages of
advertisements for sex aids of all types.
The photos are largely of nude or nearly nude females mainly in
positions to expose genitalia. There are some photos of males with
genitals exposed and there are photos of genitalia exhibiting sexual
aids. There is nothing in this publication to remove it from the
classification of indecent. It is clearly concerned with the prurient
and lewd aspects of sex. It is patently offensive because of the manner
in which the subject-matter is depicted. It has no literary or artistic
merit and because the likelihood of corruption far outweighs the
possible benefit it is clearly injurious to the public good.
Home Grown, Vol. 1, No. 10, is an English publication clearly
devoted to the promotion of the use of cannabis. In April 1980 we
had to consider Home Grown, Vol. 1, No. 2, which appears to have
come from the same publication house. (See Decision 951.) We
have no difficulty in finding Vol. 1, No. 10, to be indecent for the
same reasons as we found No. 2 to be indecent.
Both publications are classified as indecent.
Dated at Wellington this 20th day of December 1983.
W. M. WILLIS.
Decision No. 1087
(Ref. No. IND. 30/83)
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
decision in respect of the following publications:
Hot Black Hunks, Third World Studio.
Sex Scenes No. 2, Eagle Productions
Chairman: District Court Judge Wilks.
Members: H. B. Dick, L. P. Nikera, J. V. B. McLinden, I. W.
Malcolm.
Hearing: at Wellington on the 13th day of December 1983.
Appearances: No appearance of Importer, B. D. Evans, Auckland.
C. Hillman for Comptroller of Customs.
DECISION
These 2 publications were privately imported through Auckland
Parcel Post and seized in July 1983. Forfeiture has been disputed
by the importer prior to the commencement of condemnation
proceedings.
Hot Black Hunks is published in the United States and consists
almost entirely of photographs of nude black males in nearly every
case exposing the penis quiescent or in erection. In some photos
the model is plainly masturbating and in others has clearly just
finished masturbating. There is no text apart from 2 pages of
advertisements for sexual aids.
Sex Scenes No. 2 is published by Eagle Publications and would
seem to come from the United States. The text which is minimal
commences in the middle of a sentence and it consists of 2 stories
concerning homosexual behaviour in one case between 2 individuals
and in the other between 3. The text is luridly illustrated with black
and white photographs of nude or nearly nude males engaged in a
series of homosexual encounters. Neither publication can claim any
literary or artistic merit. They are predominately concerned with
prurient and lewd aspects of sex. The subject-matter is patently
offensive and concerns behaviour which is criminal in New Zealand.
The likelihood of corruption far outweighs possible benefit. They
are clearly injurious to the public good.
They are classified as indecent.
Dated at Wellington this 20th day of December 1983.
