Objection to release of tapes
PA Auckland Possession of indecent videotapes, and not just importing them, should be illegal, according to the Government member of Parliament for Hauraki, Mr G. E. Lee. In Tauranga last week, videotapes described by customs officers as “obviously indecent” had to be handed back to their owners be-
cause it could not be proved they had imported them or they had them for financial gain. “I certainly believe that possessing indecent tapes and other material should be illegal,” said Mr Lee. ‘‘lt is an offence to have indecent books in your possession and I believe tapes should be in line with this law,” he said.
