WELLINGTON, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1934.

THE Fourth Session of the Twenty-fourth 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 MEMBERS OF
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,—

As this will be the last occasion upon which I shall have the privilege of
addressing you in Parliament assembled, I desire to express to you, and
through you, to persons of all classes and both races in this Dominion, my
deep appreciation of the goodwill which has been consistently extended to
me as the King’s representative, and also to Lady Bledisloe, during our
sojourn amongst you in a period of almost unprecedented economic adver-
sity, and my earnest hopes for the future well-being of the people of this
Dominion. We shall quit its shores with much reluctance and with many
happy memories. I need hardly add that we shall not fail, after leaving a
country in which we have experienced so much kindness, to grasp any oppor-
tunities which may hereafter present themselves to advance its welfare.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester will, with His Majesty’s
permission, be visiting New Zealand as the guest of my Government for a
period of some five weeks from the 15th December next. I am confident
that the people of the Dominion will, in pursuance of their steadfast loyalty
to the Crown and their affection for His Majesty, accord to him a very hearty
welcome.

My Ministers have followed the proceedings of the Disarmament Conference
at Geneva with the closest interest and sympathy, and have consistently
maintained their warm support of the cause of general disarmament and of
the system of friendly collaboration in international affairs through the League
of Nations. This policy they intend to continue.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

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 ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"
