Summary: Law Reform (Press, 5 June 1986)
In a letter published on 5 June 1986, a law student named S. C. England expresses their views on the ongoing debate around homosexual law reform in New Zealand. The writer highlights the existing legislation as unjust and unenforceable for the homosexual community, suggesting that lengthy arguments about the technical details are not useful. They advocate for significant liberalisation of the law, with the primary recommendation being the reduction of the age of consent to 16. The writer believes that this step would create a more realistic legal framework that would benefit New Zealand's responsible homosexual community.
