WELLINGTON: THURSDAY, 31 MAY 1984

THE Third Session of the 40th 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 privilege for me to exercise for the fourth time the prerogative of Her Majesty The Queen in opening this Third Session of the 40th Parliament.

Being in this place today brings to mind my distinguished predecessor in office who first listened to the Speech from the Throne delivered by Lord Bledisloe in 1933. New Zealanders will remember with gratitude and affection the life and work of the late Right Honourable Sir Keith Holyoake, Knight of the Garter, who died on the 8th of December last.

Lady Beattie and I are grateful for the opportunities that Vice-Regal office provides to meet people in all walks of life. The many activities of our community—be they voluntary, official, or professional—never fail to remind us that New Zealand's richest resource is human beings.

A highlight for me last summer was a visit to Antarctica to see for myself our research programme in that great continent. We can be proud of the unique contribution New Zealanders are making there. The special value of that contribution is out of all proportion to our size as a nation.

HONOURABLE MEMBERS, since early last year growth in the New Zealand economy has accelerated as the major industrial countries of the world have moved out of recession, and Government policies have resulted in higher domestic productivity.

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 ...
