Classification of videos backed
PA Wellington The Chief Film Censor, Mr Arthur Everard, supports in principle moves by the Video Association to introduce Australian censorship classifications for home videos.
However, he thinks that the classifications themselves will not give consumers enough information about the content of films.
They will need to be accompanied by an explanatory note. Although Mr Everard described the Video Association idea as excellent and well merited, he saw one or two other problems. He suggested that with voluntary classification one would always get mavericks and also that the scheme would not give dealers protection from prosecution.
