Summary: The Day In Parliament (Press, 5 June 1986)
On 4 June 1986, members of the New Zealand Parliament convened at 2 p.m. to address various matters. During this session, Ministers responded to three questions of the day and 13 on notice. Following this, members engaged in a two-hour general debate. Once the debate concluded, several bills progressed through various legislative stages. The Otago Foundation Trust Board Amendment Bill successfully passed both its committee and third reading. Meanwhile, the Waimakariri River Improvement Amendment Bill and the Greymouth Harbour Board Empowering Amendment Bill each received their second readings. Debate then commenced on the Auckland Improvement Trust Amendment Bill; however, it was paused when the House adjourned for dinner at 5.30 p.m. The discussion resumed at 7.30 p.m., during which the Auckland Improvement Trust Amendment Bill received its second reading, along with the Auckland City Council (Rating Relief) Empowering Amendment Bill. The Homosexual Law Reform Bill advanced through its committee stages and was prepared for its upcoming third reading. Additionally, the Myxomatosis Prevention Bill was introduced and referred to the Primary Production Select Committee for further review. In a separate initiative, Mr John Terris, Government member for Western Hutt, proposed the introduction of the Fencing of Swimming Pools Bill, which was also introduced and sent to the Internal Affairs and Local Government Select Committee for consideration. Another bill, the Solvent Abuse Law Reform Bill, was introduced by Mr Graeme Lee, the Opposition member for Hauraki. The debate regarding this bill's introduction was interrupted when the House subsequently rose at 11 p.m., bringing the day's legislative activities to a close.
