Urolagnia?
Is urolagnia really banned? Is it for a medical reason, since I cannot see any direct moral or practical reason why it should be? 惑乱 分からん 21:38, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The FVPC Act is here: . The provision that's probably most relevant is 3(2)(d): "A publication shall be deemed to be objectionable for the purposes of this Act if the publication promotes or supports, or tends to promote or support the use of urine or excrement in association with degrading or dehumanising conduct or sexual conduct". This fits in with the wider aims of the act, as shown in 3B(3)(a)(iii): "The material referred to [...] is material that describes, depicts, expresses, or otherwise deals with physical conduct of a degrading or dehumanising or demeaning nature". That's why urolagnia is deemed objectionable. --Dom 02:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, I should also mention there's a clear distinction between 'promote', and merely 'depict'. --Dom 02:45, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

No criticism from the left?
I noted that the entire criticism section consisted solely of right-wing critics wishing for more stringent censorship. I would assume that there are plenty of people in NZ who want to go the other direction and move to a US-style system where "anything but kiddie porn goes"

Homeopathic practioners
I added as the statement seems fairly odd. I don't see why they'd consult homeopathic practioners on books which had no real relation to homeopathy. However it was added by the same editor who added the rest of the stuff which makes more sense so I presume it isn't vandalism. I wonder if the IP confused homeopathy with other alternative medicine practioners (although it seems surprising if they didn't consult medical experts as well).
