Summary: Tom, Dick, And Harry (Press, 20 July 1979)
On 20 July 1979, Miss Marilyn Waring, the member for Waipa, addressed Parliament during the Budget debate, highlighting the challenges faced by domestic purposes beneficiaries. She critiqued societal attitudes towards personal relationships, suggesting that it was perceived as acceptable for individuals to have a variety of short-term partners, but not to engage in stable relationships with the same person throughout the week. Waring's statements pointed to a broader issue concerning the expectations and judgments placed upon beneficiaries, specifically relating to their personal lives, which often drew scrutiny and stigma. Her comments aimed to shed light on the complexities and issues that domestic purposes beneficiaries encounter within societal frameworks and legislative discussions.
