Publishes adult content, in Papua New Guinea

Classification of Publication (Censorship) Act 1989 (PNG), No. 18 of 1989, ss. 2, 33, 62-63, 76-77 · Read the law's page

• Applies to a publisher, seller, hirer, displayer or deliverer of a restricted publication or an “R” film or its advertising matter, and to a person in charge of or with management or control of a restricted publication area. It does not apply to a publication sponsored by the National Government or a Provincial Government.
• Do not sell, let on hire, display or deliver a restricted publication, or an “R” film or its advertising matter, to a minor (a person under 18).
• Do not publish such a publication, film or advertising matter in a public place unless it is sealed or wrapped with its classification markings visible; publishing otherwise than in accordance with these conditions is an offence.
• If you are in charge of or have management or control of a restricted publication area, do not permit a minor to enter it, and display a notice of the restriction at each entrance. A reasonable belief that the person was 18 or older is a defence to a charge of permitting a minor to enter.
• Conform your publishing and broadcasting of publications to the standards the Censorship Board determines.

• Make the notification within 24 hours if you are a CII operator or a financial institution, and within 72 hours if you are any other entity (s. 111(1)).
