Summary: Lectures To Police (Press, 26 October 1972)
On 25 October 1972, officers from the Homosexual Law Reform Society delivered a series of refresher courses at the Trentham police training college in Wellington, focusing on general topics related to homosexuality. This initiative was undertaken at the request of the police force, aiming to educate and inform police personnel on the subject. Key speakers included Dr A. J. W. Taylor, a professor of psychiatry at Victoria University, Dr Margaret Sparrow from the University Student Health Service, and Mr C. J. F. Parkin, a senior lecturer in philosophy at the university. During the period when these lectures were being conducted, the society reported that they had faced challenges in their communications with government officials. Specifically, the Minister of Justice, Sir Roy Jack, declined to meet with the society or respond to their correspondence for two months. Although the minister later agreed to meet with the society, the delays prevented the meeting from being organised before the upcoming elections. The society anticipates that this meeting will take place early in the following year.
