X-Rated Videos
MR COLLAERY: In question time on Tuesday Mr Stevenson asked me a question about a paper on TV and video viewing issued by the Women's Commission of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Australia. I agreed to check on the matter. My office has received hundreds of representations about X-rated videos and, as far as can be ascertained, that paper has not been received as yet in my office. It should be noted that it appears from a press release issued by the synod that the paper was under embargo until 2 December 1990. I table that press release. I thank Mr Stevenson for supplying the release to one of my officers.
My Law Office has contacted the General Synod in Sydney and asked for a copy of the actual paper which is titled "Discriminative TV video viewing". When received, copies of the paper will be available from my office for any member who wishes to examine the document.
On a separate matter, also I believe raised by Mr Stevenson, the Law Office has now obtained a copy of the Granny May's sales catalogue with the adults only section and it will be referred to the Commonwealth Chief Censor for classification.
