The Society reported in our recent Newsletter in an article entitled “Inquiry into the Funding of the New Zealand Porn Industry”, on a dispute involving supporters and opponents of porn promotion, promiscuity and prostitution.
“[The Society’s]… inquiry expanded to look at a controversial dispute in the provincial region of the North Island between a porn entrepreneur and his brother, and a group of elderly war veterans. The brothers were attempting to turn an iconic building they had purchased from the veterans’ club, that had been used as clubrooms for many decades by the veterans and their families, into a brothel and hardcore porn promotion venue. The stouch between the two groups highlighted the price that has to be paid by those with conservative standards of morality who stand up in opposition to the hubris, bravado, and intolerance of those hell-bent on foisting immoral activities onto a community which finds them grossly offensive, abhorrent and detrimental to the public good. The club members refusal, by a vote of 8 to 1, to allow lewd and offensive sex acts to be performed within their clubrooms by porn stars linked to a hardcore porn company directed by one of the buildings’ owners, primarily led to a breakdown in relationship between the club and the owners. The latter had contractual commitments to the club which held the second mortgage of over $1.5 million over the property.”
“The fallout from the bitter stouch over porn promotion and the default by the building owners to pay their debts – they defaulted on both the first and second mortgage for many months – resulted in the building being put up for mortgagee auction. The building owners may soon be left, following the sale, with nothing but huge debts once the property worth well over $1.6 Million, sells”.
