Summary: Precautions At House (Press, 25 July 1974)
On 24 July 1974, security measures were heightened at the Parliament Buildings in Wellington, New Zealand, following concerns related to a telephoned threat. The underground car park was secured, and only three entrances at the front of the building remained accessible. The increased security appears to be linked to the proposed legislation aimed at reforming laws concerning homosexuality. Although the police and Wing Commander R. M. McKay, the Sergeant-at-Arms for Parliament, did not officially validate the existence of the threat or disclose specific reasons for the enhanced security protocols, it is widely believed that the threat stemmed from the contentious nature of the legal reforms being discussed.
