Chairman: Judge R. R. Kearney.
Members: R. E. Barrington, A. J. Graham and S. C. Middleton.

Hearing at Wellington on the 28th day of November 1989.

Appearances: M. J. Wotherspoon for Comptroller of Customs.
No appearance by or on behalf of the importer.

Decision

This publication was privately imported through Auckland Airport on 23 October 1989 and was seized by the Collector of Customs. The importer having subsequently disputed forfeiture the publication was referred to the Tribunal for classification prior to the commencement of condemnation proceedings pursuant to the Customs Act 1966.

The magazine is comprised almost entirely of photographs of men engaging in explicit sexual activity including anal and oral sex. The Tribunal is satisfied that the publication is injurious to the public good and classifies it as unconditionally indecent.

Dated at Wellington this 21st day of December 1989.

Decision No. 89/89
Reference No.: IND 67/89

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 an interim restriction order in terms of section 14A of the Indecent Publications Act 1963 in respect of the following publication: Men's World, Vol. 1, No. 8 and 9;

Chairman: Judge R. R. Kearney.
Members: R. E. Barrington, A. J. Graham and S. C. Middleton.

Interim Restriction Order

These 2 publications were referred to me by the Comptroller of Customs with the request that an interim restriction order be made classifying both issues of the publication as indecent in the hands of persons under the age of 18 years. Mr Wotherspoon appeared before me in support of that application and after considering the publications, I am satisfied that his submission on behalf of the Comptroller of Customs is an appropriate one. I accordingly make an interim restriction order in terms of section 14A of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, classifying this publication as indecent in the hands of persons under the age of 18 years.

Dated at Wellington this 22nd day of December 1989.
