ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NO 484
X-Rated Videos - Raids on Premises
Ms Szuty: Asked the Attorney General upon notice on 17 December 1993 - In relation to your statement in the Assembly on 9 December 1992 during the Publications Control (Amendment) Bill 1992 debate that there have been raids carried out in Fyshwick on premises selling X-rated videos
(1) How many premises were raided.
(2) Were any unclassified materials or banned imports found during these raids; if so, which premises were found to be carrying this material.
(3) Has the Australian Federal Police (AFP) preferred any charges; if not, are charges being considered.
(4) What are the consequences arising from the discovery of unclassified materials or banned imports.
(5) Is the Attorney-General taking up the issue of unclassified material on sale interstate with his Federal, State and Territory counterparts.
(6) Has any brief been given to the AFP in the Australian Capital Territory, or elsewhere, to follow up on possible sales of banned material via adult magazines.
MR CONNOLLY: The answer to the Members question is as follows:
(I) Searched warrants have been executed upon three premises
pursuant to the Publications Control Act 1989.
(2) Yes. Offences under the provisions of Section 12(1) of the
& Publications Control Act 1989 were proven against
(3) Channel 69. In addition, a brief of evidence is being
prepared with a view to issuing a summons against one
other premise, which was found to have committed offences
against Section 12(1). However, as that matter has not yet
been placed before the Court, I cannot make any further
comment.
