Summary: ‘Guide To Safe Sex’ Released (Press, 7 October 1989)
On 7 October 1989, copies of the book "The Modern Girl’s Guide to Safe Sex," written by Australian author Kaz Cooke, were released for sale by the Indecent Publications Tribunal after being seized by Customs at Auckland Airport. A total of ninety-nine copies had been confiscated prior to the tribunal's decision. The tribunal stipulated that the sale of the book would be limited to individuals aged 16 and over. Kaz Cooke expressed disappointment over the age restriction, noting that many individuals under the age of 16 also require access to the information contained in the book. She suggested that their grandmothers might purchase it for them as a Christmas gift or that they could borrow it from peers. Hilary McPhee, the publisher, welcomed the tribunal's decision and expressed hope that women would assist in ensuring the book reached those who need it most.
