In the text, the author aims the book at an adult audience and attempts to justify this portrayal. The dissertation is a convoluted piece of philosophical writing, in which the author exonerates the theme of his photographs. The content of the book is considered to tend to promote the exploitation of children or young persons for sexual purposes. Due to this consideration, under s3(2)(a) of the Act the publication is deemed to be objectionable. OFLC Ref: 9400960 tmp3BA9.tmp
