CLASSIFICATION OFFICE DECISION Title of publication: Image "A" Other known title(s): Not stated OFLC ref: 0901749.000 Medium: Computer Image File Printout Publisher: Not stated Country of origin: Not stated Language: Not applicable Applicant: Commissioner of Police Classification: Unrestricted. Descriptive note: None Display conditions: None Date of entry in Register: 14 January 2010 Date of direction to issue No direction to issue a label has been issued a label: Summary of reasons for decision: The publication is a computer image file printout that depicts two naked boys sitting side by side. There is nothing inherently sexual about the way they are posed, and the reasonable viewer is not likely to regard the image as sexual in nature. It is noted that the availability of the publication may lead to the subjects' identification. However, the image itself raises no issues under s3(1), s3A or s3B of the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993. The publication must, therefore, be classified as unrestricted. This classification is consistent with the right to freedom of expression as set out in s14 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.
