NEW ZEALAND - A LUNCHTIME parade of topless porn stars down the main
street of New Zealand's biggest city has been given official approval on
the grounds that no laws would be broken.
The Boobs on Bikes parade later this month will feature up to 30 porn
stars on the back of motorcycles or in cars riding through Auckland's
CBD to promote an erotica expo, The New Zealand Herald reported.
The breast-baring drive has been held informally since 2003, but this is
the first time permission has been sought and given by the Auckland City
Council.
Several city councillors against the parade were surprised to find it
had been given a green light without consulting them.
They learned of the approval from a council memo which said it was not
against the law to be topless on Queen Street.
Councillor Noelene Raffills said the parade is not acceptable for that
time of day in the busy shopping street.
"It is not like a television set you can turn off or a book you can
shut," Ms Raffills told the newspaper.
