Indecent Publications Classification, Customs Exchange Rates, Price Order

THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE

No. 49

The importer suggested that these books were published in
Australia about 1972 and were freely on sale in New Zealand with
a Customs Department age restriction of 18. They were not seized
until 1979. Nympho, Peeping Tom and Naked Eye consist of
photographs of males and females in various states of dress and
undress. The models are photographed in posed or contrived
positions. Each of these publications will be classified as indecent
in the hands of persons under the age of 18.

The remaining publications are in a different category. Strip Jackie
Naked, Sex Secrets of an Office Secretary, Primitive Promiscuity
and
Strip Scandal consist of black and white photographs of nude models
of both sexes in a variety of poses. The publications are poorly
produced and because more than 2 models are used the appeal would
be for the lewd and prurient. They lack artistic merit and in our
opinion would be injurious to the public good. They are classified
as indecent.

Porno Girl, Bush and Barbeque and Weekend Love. These
publications consist of photographs of a male and a female in the
course of love making. The poor publication removes any suggestion
of artistic merit. The appeal would be for the lewd and prurient
and the likelihood of corruption outweighs the benefit. One again
it is considered that these publications are injurious to the public
good. They are classified as indecent.

Dated at Wellington this 10th day of February 1984.
