Abstract

For the second year running the Hon G Palmer, as he has now become, was invited to address the Annual General Meeting of the New Zealand Section of the International Commission of Jurists. In this paper given at Wellington on 6 December 1984 the Attorney-General develops and considers from his new perspective of executive responsibility some of the themes of his earlier paper, published at [1984] NZLJ 31. He explains what the new government has already done and what it hopes to achieve, more particularly in the area of parliamentary reform and the enactment of a Bill of Rights. He sees the two as interrelated and as involving a radical change in administrative, legislative and judicial responsibilities and attitudes.

Keywords: New Zealand government, Bill of Rights, Parliamentary reform, New Zealand
