Summary: Leaders For Petition (Press, 20 March 1985)
On 19 March 1985, Mr Graeme Lee, the member of Parliament for Hauraki, announced the launch of a petition opposing the Homosexual Law Reform Bill. This proposed legislation aimed to decriminalise consensual sexual activities between adult males over the age of 16. Mr Lee has partnered with three other members of Parliament to spearhead this campaign, which aims to gather one million signatures against the bill. Among the prominent figures supporting the petition are Mr Keith Hay from Auckland and Sir Peter Tait from Napier. Mr Hay is recognised for his achievements as a businessman and in local government, while Sir Peter Tait is also a well-known local government personality. The campaign reflects significant political opposition to the progressive reform proposed by the Bill.
