Summary: Parliament’s Diary (Press, 9 October 1968)
On 9 October 1968, the New Zealand Parliament devoted its sessions to discussions regarding the Internal Affairs Estimates, alongside those of the Ministry of Works and the Police Department. The House was operating under a sense of urgency to address these estimates, which required immediate attention. During this session, Ministers responded to a total of seven questions raised by members of Parliament. In a notable moment, Mr A. H. Nordmeyer, representing the Labour Party for Island Bay, presented a petition from the Homosexual Law Reform Society. This petition called for amendments to the Crimes Act of 1961 in relation to homosexual law reform. Furthermore, notice was given regarding the intention to introduce two significant pieces of legislation: the Christchurch District Drainage Amendment Bill and the Ranfurly Licensing Trust Bill. These developments indicate ongoing legislative activity and social discussions within the Parliament at this time.
