Decision

These publications were privately imported through the Auckland International Airport on 30 December 1989. The Collector of Customs having seized the publications the importer applied for waiver of forfeiture and the publications were referred to the Tribunal for classification.

The publications are directed towards the male homosexual market and are mainly comprised of photographs of nude or partially clothed male models in a variety of poses.

Mandate, November 1987, Vol. 13, No. 11

There is currently a serial restriction order in respect of the publication Mandate classifying the publication as indecent in the hands of persons under the age of 18 years, this being the reissue of a similar order originally granted by decision No. 13/88 on 16 May 1988. The Tribunal agrees with the recommendation put forward on behalf of the Comptroller of Customs and classifies this publication as indecent in the hands of persons under the age of 18 years.

Blueboy, Vol. 2, No. 1
Jock, Vol. IV, Issues 2 and 3

These publications have been the subject of a number of decisions by the Tribunal in 1988 and 1989 with classifications varying between unconditionally indecent and restricted for sale to persons over the age of 18 years. Although there are some aspects of 2 of the publications which cause concern to the Tribunal in the end result the Tribunal was satisfied that an age restriction would suffice. These publications are accordingly classified as indecent in the hands of persons under the age of 18 years.

Dated at Wellington this 20th day of March 1990.

R. R. Kearney, Chairman,
Indecent Publications Tribunal.
