Summary: Probation Officers Back Bill (Press, 11 May 1985)
On 11 May 1985, the Association of Probation Officers in New Zealand expressed its full support for the Homosexual Law Reform Bill. During their recent annual meeting, the association, led by president Mr Eric Coyle, passed a remit urging members of Parliament to vote in favour of the legislation. Mr Coyle noted that while there are differing opinions in the community regarding the bill, it aims to extend the same respect and legal protections to homosexual individuals that heterosexuals currently receive. He highlighted the association’s code of ethics, which emphasizes the inherent value and dignity of every person, regardless of their background, identity, or societal contributions.
