Summary: Petitions On Standards (Press, 21 December 1974)
On 21 December 1974, reports emerged that two petitions, each with approximately 25,000 signatures, were set to be presented to New Zealand's Prime Minister, Mr. Rowling. The petitions, led by Miss Patricia Bartlett, the president of the Society for the Protection of Community Standards, expressed opposition to significant social changes. The first petition aimed to maintain the current legal age for the sale of contraceptives, arguing against any proposals to lower this age. The second petition was focused on film censorship, seeking to prevent any liberalisation of the existing regulations governing film content.
