Summary: General News (Press, 25 September 1971)
On 25 September 1971, a revised balance-sheet released by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand has stirred attention as it corrects six entries from the previous annual report. The amendments involve minor adjustments, with five entries altered by $1 or a fractional amount, while a more significant change involves a transposition of figures that affects total balances by $270,000. Despite these revisions, the overall totals for assets and liabilities within the bank’s records remain the same. Additionally, a weather report from around the world indicates a variety of conditions on the same day. Major cities experienced different weather patterns, with Rome enjoying sunny weather and temperatures ranging from a minimum of 11 degrees to a maximum of 26 degrees. Other notable weather conditions included sunny skies in London and Berlin, with temperature ranges of 15 to 23 degrees and 8 to 23 degrees respectively. Meanwhile, cities like Amsterdam and Brussels observed overcast conditions, and New York and Los Angeles reported clear skies with temperatures varying from 14 to 22 degrees and 17 to 24 degrees, respectively. Cities further afield, including Buenos Aires, Montreal, and Johannesburg, also presented an assortment of clear or cloudy weather with moderate temperatures. In political news, a significant petition signed by 10,656 individuals has been presented to Parliament by Mr T. J. Young (Lab., Hutt). This petition advocates for amendments to the Indecent Publications Act of 1963 and its subsequent regulations from 1964. It was sponsored by Mr H. T. Robinson, president of the Society for the Promotion of Community Standards, and follows a similar petition submitted the previous year, which garnered the support of 13,382 signatures led by Miss Patricia Bartlett. The Petitions Committee is set to review both petitions on 13 October 1971.
