NZ's Boobs on Bikes parade gets go ahead
Auckland's Boobs on Bikes parade will go ahead legally on Wednesday after a judge declined to grant an injunction to stop it.
Auckland City Council on Monday argued in Auckland District Court that the parade of topless women riding down Queen Street in cars and on motorbikes breached its newly-amended bylaw banning offensive public events.
On Tuesday, Judge Nicola Mathers said she wasn't satisfied that the parade breached the legal threshold of offensiveness.
The judge said opponents may find the parade offensive or tasteless but the fact that 80,000 people attended the previous event meant a significant number of people did not agree with the critics' views.
The council's lawyer, Willy Akel, argued the local authority had every right to stop the parade as the bylaw was made under the Local Government Act, which allows councils to make bylaws to minimise the potential for offensive behaviour in public places.
He said the parade had little to do with freedom of expression and was simply an advertisement for the Erotica Expo.
But Jesse Soondram, the lawyer for the parade's organiser Steve Crow, said the council was illegally trying to apply a different standard of what is offensive, than that of the law.
Police and the courts had already decided it was not an offence for women to bare their breasts in public under the Summary Offences Act, Soondram said.
Mr Crow has said the parade would go ahead regardless of the court outcome.
