Patricia Bartlett (right) became a household name during the 1970s and 1980s as a highly visible spokesperson for the Society for the Promotion of Community Standards.

Here she and Internal Affairs Minister Graeme Lee survey a collection of banned pornographic videos handed in during an official amnesty in 1993.
