Charge not ‘job-related’
PA Wellington i The chief film censor, Mr Arthur Everard, said yester- • day that his smuggling con- ‘ viction had nothing to do I with his ability to perform his job as the watchdog of i
excessive sex and violence in the cinema. “The two are not related ... the conviction will have absolutely no effect,” Mr Everard said. ‘I am not the guardian of public morals — that is a popular misconception of the role of the film censor. That is the role of the Church,” Mr Everard said. His attempt to bring video equipment into New Zealand was an error of judgment, a personal matter, he said. “It happened before I took up this position. It was not job-related. “I don’t expect there will be any inquiry” Mr Everard said.
