NZ Film Censorship:
It has been said that censorship can either be seen as a means of social control which suppresses individual freedom, or as being necessary in the public good. ...
Even back in early colonial New Zealand, there was a limited extent of censorship regulations. ... One of the early acts of censorship in New Zealand was British missionaries censoring Maori art with the removal of their penises. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries New Zealand would change the censorship laws 5-10 years after the British and Australians. A possible reason for this is New Zealand’s late development, however, it could relate to the view of Maori. The importation of indecent material was banned in Britain in 1853, followed by New Zealand in 1858. ... Ten years later, New Zealand’s provincial councils introduced a similar law based on the Vagrant act in an attempt to cut down on the circulation of indecent material.
