High Court grants right to jog naked
NewstalkZB | 12:37pm Sat 01 Dec 2012

The High Court has granted a man the right to go jogging naked in the bush.

Naturist Andrew Pointon has been in the courts after a woman saw him running in the buff in a forest near Tauranga .

Three days later Mr Pointon was arrested for offensive behaviour, but now he has won his case.

His lawyer Michael Bott doubts it'll open up the floodgates for people to run about nude in public.

"It's not a nudists' charter or anything like that, far from it.

"What was said was in this particular case, that here was a man who went out of his way as it were, to exercise his freedom of expression in a way which took into account the rights and needs of others."

ha, I have no problem with it to be honest- Simple (non sexual) nudity is the counter weight to the sexualised nudity/partial nudity that bombards us on the tele and in print everyday. We've all got a body.

Somewhere I have an autobiographical cassette by Peter Ustinov, where he describes Charles Laughton as "...always hanging around, waiting to be offended" .
So, how much time did this 'lady' spend, searching the bush for a bush that might have concealed something offensive? dry.gif

I do. The people who should do it are never the ones who do, and the people who do do it are never the ones that should.
