LPA 01 01 24

Hon David Parker, Attorney-General

Consistency with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990: Girl Guides Association (New Zealand Branch) Incorporation Amendment Bill

  1. We have considered whether the Girl Guides Association (New Zealand Branch) Incorporation Amendment Bill (the Bill), a Private Bill in the name of Dr Duncan Webb MP, is consistent with the rights and freedoms affirmed in the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (the Bill of Rights Act).
  2. The Bill amends the Girl Guides Association (New Zealand Branch) Incorporation Act 1942 to allow the Girl Guides Association New Zealand Incorporated (the Association) to dispose of property contrary to the terms of a statutory trust where to do so is necessary or desirable for promoting the welfare of the Association. This is necessary as some of the Association’s long-held properties have become uneconomical to retain.
  3. We have concluded that the Bill appears to be consistent with the rights and freedoms affirmed in the Bill of Rights Act.
