Summary: An overview of the sex industry in Australia. It has a large focus on the DVD (adult video industry) and looks at government restrictions on X rated material.
Notes: accessed from: Factiva. Dow Jones Reuters Business Interactive LLC. RMIT University Library. (14 May 2007).
Quotations: -- Calvista general manager Hui Newnham says it produces 10,000 DVDs a week for distribution in Australia. That's sine half a million X-rated movies a year, from just one company.; -- Groups such as Calvista estimate the bulk of the adult retail market in Australia (books, toys and films) to be worth $1.6 billion to $1.7 billion a year. But Newnham says legally compliant operators such as Calvista and Gallery make up only about 40 per cent of the wholesale market. The rest at best operate in a grey zone, or at worst, just flog pirated material that would be unlikely to pass muster with the Office of FIlm and Literature Classification.
