🗣️ Speech Hon Maryan Street (New Zealand Labour Party — List Member)
Time unknown

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Earlier today there were a number of people outside Parliament who were in support of the petitions regarding adult and community education, and who sought access to the public gallery in order to be here to hear their petitions presented to the House. They were denied access. They are petitioners, and I seek your ruling on this matter.

🗣️ Speech Lockwood Smith (New Zealand National Party — Member for Rodney)
Time unknown

I must say it is a matter that I am totally unaware of, and therefore I cannot possibly comment on it. Normally I am not familiar with issues around access to the public gallery on any given day. I can certainly investigate whether anything untoward took place, and I will do that for the honourable member.
