3158 THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 142

HONOURABLE MEMBERS, the Government will heed the call of Maori
people for better opportunities in employment, education, health and
housing. There will be full consultations on these concerns. Cultural and
social initiatives, such as Te Kohanga Reo and Maatua Whangai, will be
encouraged.

A comprehensive Maori Affairs Bill will be introduced later this Session
embodying Maori principles that will develop a dynamic kaupapa.

The Government is aware that the needs of New Zealand’s Pacific
communities have not been met. To provide specific Ministerial
responsibility in this area a new portfolio of Pacific Island Affairs has
been established.

The Government also recognises that existing legislation covering
immigration is both out of date and difficult to administer. The previous
administration’s Bill was not satisfactory and this administration is
currently reviewing the law. Once that is done a new Bill will be
introduced.

HONOURABLE MEMBERS, the Government believes in the continued
development of an independent, publicly-owned broadcasting system
which has maximum choice and independence in public affairs and
documentary production, and which has an awareness of the possibilities
opened up by recent technological advances. To this end it is proposed
in the immediate future to appoint a Royal Commission to investigate
the long term future of broadcasting and telecommunications in New
Zealand.

The Government will undertake a review of the forms of local and
regional government, their autonomy, accountability and effectiveness.
In addition, a survey of the local government electoral franchise and
processes is planned.

HONOURABLE MEMBERS, it is proposed to introduce a Bill of Rights and
table it with a White Paper, for reference to a Select Committee. The
Committee will be invited to consult extensively in an unhurried but
thorough manner. The Bill is not to be enacted until 1986.

The establishment of a Ministry of Women’s Affairs is a pledge of the
Government’s recognition at the highest level of the often still
undervalued contribution of women.

A Rape Law Reform Bill will be introduced at an early date. It will
contain some additional provisions favoured by the Select Committee
which amended the previous Bill. A revised Criminal Justice Bill will
also be introduced.
