An Opposition Commentary

Abstract

The author, being the MP for Panmure and Labour Associate Spokesperson for Justice, provides a commentary on Rt Hon Justice Hardie Boys' paper, "Judicial Attitudes to Family Property". The author adopts the view of her predecessor Lianne Dalziel and the Labour Women's Council: that the law should recognise the changes in family patterns in New Zealand and should acknowledge the intent of the Human Rights Act 1993 to outlaw discrimination on the basis of marital status and sexual orientation.
