Summary: Outnumbered (Press, 20 November 1971)
On 20 November 1971, Mr Gordon Tait, the president of the Booksellers Association of New Zealand, remarked on an intriguing observation regarding magazine subscriptions and public sentiment towards the Indecent Publications Act. He pointed out that the monthly subscriptions to the magazine "Playboy" surpass the number of signatures on petitions advocating for amendments to the Act. Tait noted that while there were 26,486 signatures supporting the petitions, the magazine boasts almost 30,000 subscribers. This disparity led him to conclude that the audience for "Playboy," which features explicit content, appears to significantly outnumber the advocates, including Miss Patricia Bartlett, who are against such publications.
