Both decisions were reviewed by The Film and Literature Board of Review which also found the publications to be objectionable for the same reasoning as the OFLC. The objectionable classification means it is illegal for the public in New Zealand to possess or distribute the publications without the express authority of the OFLC. The decisions of the OFLC and the Board of Review are only applicable to New Zealand and the publications continue to be legally available in other parts of the world.
