WELLINGTON, THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1929.

THE Second Session of the Twenty-third Parliament of New Zealand was
this day opened by the Governor-General, when His Excellency was pleased
to make the following statement of the causes of the calling of this Session of
Parliament together:—

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, AND GENTLEMEN OF
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,—

It is in a spirit of thankfulness that in the opening paragraph of my
speech I am able to record the satisfactory recovery of the King from the
serious illness from which His Majesty suffered throughout a long and anxious
period. The citizens of this Dominion shared with the rest of the Empire—
and, indeed, with other nations—in the feelings of pleasure and relief at His
Majesty’s return to good health.

In December next I shall have completed a term of five years in office,
and I have received His Majesty’s permission to leave the Dominion on the
1st February next year.

It is with great regret that Her Excellency and I see the time of our
departure drawing near after these years of great interest and unalloyed
happiness. From one and all we have received nothing but kindness and
consideration, and the friendly and generous way in which we have been
welcomed on our journeys through the country will remain a happy memory
for all time. Among the most pleasant of our recollections will be those of
our relations with the people of the Maori race.

During our stay in the Dominion all sections of the people have made us
feel at home among them, and I take this opportunity of expressing to them
our sincere gratitude. We shall try in some measure to repay our debt to them
by studying and promoting the interests of the Dominion at Home; and our
most earnest desire will be that happiness, peace, and prosperity may ever be
vouchsafed to New Zealand and her people.

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
