WELLINGTON: THURSDAY, 11 MAY 1978
The Fourth Session of the Thirty-eighth 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 MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
It is a great privilege for me to exercise for the first time the prerogative of Her Majesty The Queen in opening this Fourth Session of the Thirty-eighth Parliament. My wife and I are deeply conscious of the obligations of Vice-Regal office and share with all Members that high privilege of serving our people to whom we both have a responsibility.
Today we are reminded sadly of the absence from this place of the Honourable Sir Roy Jack who died on 24 December 1977. He faithfully served Parliament for 23 years as a member, as a minister and twice as Speaker of the House. We shall miss his humanity, culture, and wit.
Honourable Members, earlier this year the New Zealand Planning Council published Planning Perspectives 1978–1983. This document, which I would remind you is addressed to all New Zealanders, reiterates some basic truths which often tend to be ignored—they are:
- that old attitudes must be changed if we are to achieve the social and economic goals which we deem important
- that we must re-examine carefully the inefficient and wasteful use of limited resources.
