To the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General Censorship Ministers.
We, the undersigned, are opposed to Restricted pornographic publications and material being sold where they can easily be seen and accessed by children. We call for the sale and display of Restricted publications to be limited to adults-only premises. Further, we support a review of the Classification of Publications Guidelines, to determine whether there should be more stringent requirements for the display of the so-called "lads'' magazines such as ‘People’ ‘The Picture’ ‘Zoo’ 'Ralph’ magazines etc.
