		Parliament House (built in 1922) and the Parliament Library (built in two stages, 1883 and 1899) were chosen for upgrade because of earthquake risk and inadequate existing facilities.
		Analysis of stiffnesses and strengths revealed that, where the existing walls were composite with new seismic walls, in-plane actions of the existing walls were not significant and could be neglected.
		Considering the historic significance of the old New Zealand Parliament buildings and the findings of site-specific seismic studies, the only practical method of strengthening to resist seismic forces was to base-isolate the buildings.

	REGULATIONS REVIEW IN THE NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT - [2004] MqLJ 2; (2004) 4 Macquarie Law Journal 7
		Parliament, therefore, was not always aware as to which regulations have been promulgated, nor was it always in a position to pronounce judgment on the instrument in question.
		In contrast, the only regular form of scrutiny within the New Zealand Parliament was the practice, lasting from 1949 until 1957, of having the Attorney-General vet all draft regulations, paying attention to their drafting, form and content, and the scrutiny of important regulations by the governing party caucus.
		To ensure Parliament retained ultimate control over changes made to the schedules, regulations that made new drugs illegal, as well as those that reclassified drugs that were already illegal, would have to be approved by a resolution of the House before coming into effect.

	New Zealand parliament passes Civil Union Bill
		After five years of Labour, New Zealand remains one of the most socially and economically divided countries in the OECD.
		But, as elsewhere, sections of the ruling elite in New Zealand are intent on exploiting the social tensions generated by Labour’s policies to galvanise a militant right-wing element through the active promotion of religion, especially among young people in the most oppressed communities.
		The very emergence of the religious right and its ability to make an appeal to the most oppressed layers of New Zealand society is, in the final analysis, a product of the economic and political agenda pursued by the Labour Party itself—an agenda that will only accelerate in the lead up to the 2005 elections.
