Parliamentary Debates (Hansard - New Zealand)

Parliamentary Debates (Hansard) is the official name of the transcripts of debates in the New Zealand Parliament. New Zealand was one of the first countries to establish an independent team of Hansard reporters,[1] 42 years before Westminister. An official record of debates has been kept continuously since 9 July 1867. Speeches made in the House of Representatives and the Legislative Council between 1867 and the commencement of Parliament in 1854 were compiled in 1885 from earlier newspaper reports, and this compilation also forms part of the New Zealand Hansard record.

History

For 13 years from the establishment of the NZ Parliament in Auckland in 1854 newspaper reports were the only record of what Members said in debates in the Legislative Council and the House of Representatives. The accuracy of these reports often depended on the political leanings of the owners of the newspaper in which they were published, and consistency of reporting was a real problem,[2] as noted in an article in the Wellington Independent newspaper in 1860:[3]

These reports give you little notion of the reality. Some members … whose speeches are dreary beyond belief, and almost unintelligible as delivered in the House, [become] flowing oratory in the columns of the newspaper. While others… are shorn of their fair proportions, and their speeches reduced to mere notes… Members who usually talk to empty benches [appear] as prominent as those who electrify the gallery or are the life of the House.

MP William Fitzherbert brought a motion to the House in 1856 calling for funds to be applied to "secure accurate and authentic reports of the substance and arguments of the speeches".[4] Then in 1862 James FitzGerald (MP for Christchurch and owner of The Press) introduced a motion calling on the Government to take steps to secure the publication of "full and accurate reports of the debates in this House".[5] Despite both motions being unanimously agreed, it was not until 1866 that a Select Committee, chaired by FitzGerald, was established to “consider and report as to the best manner in which the debates of the General Assembly can be reported and printed.”[6]

On 9 July 1867 a team of five reporters (AJ Dallas, George McIntyre, James Kinsella, ET Gillon, and William Mitchell who later drowned[7]),[8][9][10] led by Chief Reporter C.C.N. Barron, produced the first official report of debates of the Parliament of New Zealand.[11][12] One notable Hansard Reporter from the 1870s and 1880s was George Fisher, who was mayor of Wellington for four terms, member of Parliament for Wellington and Minister of Education and Commissioner of Trade and Customs.[2][13] Another notable early Hansard Reporter was Charles Melville Crombie, who later became Chief Commissioner of Taxes.[14]

Reporters worked in 15 minute "turns" and had to cover speeches in both debating chambers, regularly working until after midnight to finish the day's reports, taking notes using Pitman shorthand and then transcribing these by dictation.[13] From the establishment of the Hansard team speeches were reported as fully as possible, although for many years it was regularly proposed that only summaries of speeches should be published.[15] Reporters had to cope with speakers who had a variety of different accents and speaking pace, and had to learn the names of an increasing number of members, with the number of members in the House alone increasing from 37 in 1854 to 95 by 1882. Competent reporters with shorthand skills were scarce in New Zealand and men were brought in during parliamentary sessions from Australian parliaments to assist local reporters.

In 1884 Maurice FitzGerald, son of James FitzGerald, was engaged to compile from newspaper reports speeches made in Parliament between 1854 and 1867.[16][17][18][19] Maurice Fitzgerald completed this work in 1885.[20][21] He died in 1886 (at 25 years of age) from Tuberculosis[22][23][24] before all five volumes of his compilation were printed.[25][26]

New Zealand Hansard today

Official transcripts of MPs speeches in the House have been continuously published since 1867. Today Hansard is produced by a team of about 17 FTE Hansard Editors within the Office of the Clerk of the House of Representatives. Hansard is published on the New Zealand Parliament website each day the House sits, and later indexed bound volumes are produced.

Speeches are transcribed directly from digital recordings of the debate, with staff present in the debating chamber to monitor the debate by recording the sequence of speakers and any interjections. Interjections are reported only if the member speaking replies to them or remarks on them during the course of his or her speech. Hansard Editors follow strict rules on what changes they can make to the words MPs use in the debating chamber. Hansard is as close to verbatim as possible, although Hansard Editors remove repetitions and redundancies and make minor grammatical corrections. MPs are provided draft copies of their speeches at the same time that the speeches are first published on the Parliament website. MPs can request correction of inadvertent factual inaccuracies but they are unable to significantly change what they said in the House.[27][28]

Timeline of establishment of Hansard in New Zealand

Date Event or decision relevant to reporting of debates
24 May 1854 The General Assembly sat for the first time, with an upper house, the Legislative Council, consisting of 12 appointed Legislative Counselors, and a House of Representatives consisting of 37[29] elected Members of the House.
May/June 1854 A "reporting club" of MPs was formed, consisting of James FitzGerald, Henry Sewell, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Edward Jerningham Wakefield, James Macandrew, Hugh Carleton and William Cutten. Because of the lack of press reporters with shorthand skills this group undertook to take notes of speeches in the House, which would then be provided to each member who had spoken for checking, before being provided to newspapers for publication.[30][31] The collegiality of members of the reporting club was short-lived: by early July Henry Sewell complained that Edward Gibbon Wakefield "does not scruple here and there to doctor and color what has been really said, not absolutely falsifying, and yet giving slight touches which wholly alter the real character... his speeches are embellished throughout with cheers, as if the House sympathized heartily".[32]
12 June 1856 MPs agreed a motion moved by William Fitzherbert calling for funds to be applied to "secure accurate and authentic reports of the substance and arguments of the speeches made by honorable members of the House"[4]
25 August 1862 MPs agreed a motion moved by James FitzGerald calling on the Government to take steps to secure the publication of "full and accurate reports of the debates in this House"[5]
2 December 1863 MPs reaffirm the motion moved by James FitzGerald calling on the Government to take steps to secure the publication of "full and accurate reports of the debates in this House"[33]
8 & 14 August 1865 MPs agreed a motion moved by Frederick Weld: "That a Select Committee be appointed to superintend the revision of the reports of debates"[34] A similar motion moved by James Crowe Richmond was passed in the Legislative Council[35]
5 & 17 July 1866 MPs agreed a motion moved by Edward Stafford "That a Select Committee be appointed to consider and report as to the best manner in which the debates of the General Assembly can be reported and printed."[6] This Committee reported to the House that the Government should eventually "engage a staff of competent reporters" but until that could be done the Wellington newspapers should be paid to "furnish full and accurate reports daily of the proceedings in both Houses."[36][37][38] However the House refused to agree a resolution moved by Committee Chairman James FitzGerald to enter into a contract with local newspaper proprietors, as had been proposed by the report.[39][40][41]
26 July 1866 James FitzGerald drew the House's attention to the fact that newspapers were deliberately omitting to report the speeches, or even the name, of a certain member. A note in Hansard indicates that FitzGerald was referring to the Wellington newspapers purposely omitting any mention of Francis Dillon Bell.[42]
28 September 1866 Thomas MacKenzie, proprietor of the Wellington Independent newspaper was summoned to appear before the House for a "breach of Privilege" by publishing a report of parliamentary debates that indicated that Arthur John Burns (Member for Caversham) had acted maliciously by raising a certain matter in House.[43][44][45]
9 July 1867 Clarke Charles Netterville Barron is appointed as Chief Reporter and tasked with establishing a team of reporters to record debates in both Houses of Parliament.

[46]

10 July 1867 Colonial Secretary Edward Stafford advised the House that the Government had established "a reporting staff of four persons, and a head of the staff, who will take down and report the proceedings of both Houses, which will be printed". A Select Committee was appointed to "have entire control over the reporting"... this was an "experiment"; the Select "Committee was to ascertain whether the present arrangements could be improved."[47] The Wellington Independent derided the government's decision to establish a team of Hansard reporters, rather than enter into a contract with local newspapers to report on debates.[48][49]
16 July 1867 The Select Committee on Reporting Debates adopted rules that allowed Members "the opportunity of revising reports, on the strict understanding that the alterations are to be confined to making the reports more in accordance with the remarks actually uttered in the House. The head reporter to be the judge of the alterations made, and to refuse to pass those which he considers are departures from a correct report of what the speaker said."[50]
6 August 1868 After lengthy debate, the House refused to agree a resolution moved by Charles Heaphy that "having in view the burdensome taxation of the country... the present system of reporting the debates, and the expense thereof, should cease with the termination of existing contracts."[51]
1 September 1869 A Reporting Debates Committee appointed by the House on 4 June 1869 "for the purpose of regulating the proceedings of the reporters, and endeavouring to provide for the better compilation of the reports"[52] reaffirmed the rule established by the 1867 Select Committee on Reporting Debates that if Members seek to make material alterations in the reports of their speeches the 'Chief Reporter should have the power to refuse to pass such corrections to the Printer".[53]
14 July 1870 The Reporting Debates Committee considered, but did not agree to, a proposal by John Davies Ormond (Member for Clive) that "Hansard staff should be required to prepare summaries of the debates in the House for transmission by telegraph to the various newspapers of the colony".[54]
14 November 1871 MPs agreed a motion moved by William Harrison: "That, with the view to improving the character of Hansard, a permanent staff of efficient reporters should be engaged for that service," (at that time most reporters were employed on a sessional basis) "and that it should be a primary duty of the Chief Reporter to take his share in the task of reporting." (The Chief Reporter was currently mostly doing administration and checking reports, rather than reporting.)[55]
24 September & 25 October 1872 MPs noted a marked improvement in Hansard due to the appointment of permanent reporters[56][57]
28 July 1875 After lengthy debate, the House refused to agree a proposal from the Reporting Debates Committee that "Hansard reporters be directed to report "short" those debates which are not of general public interest." This proposal would have seen many speeches reported in a précis format, with only "matters of political importance... reported as nearly as possible in extenso".[58]
8 August 1879 MPs again rejected a proposal brought by the Reporting Debates and Printing Committee that would have allowed the Chief Reporter "the exercise of a discretionary power as to reporting matters arising incidentally in the House, and not set down as business of the day [because] with the limited staff at his disposal, it was impossible... to report everything that took place in the House".[59]
3 December 1879 MPs again rejected a proposal brought by the Reporting Debates committees of both houses "that the debates published in Hansard shall be condensed next session".[60]
7 July 1880 MPs agreed a motion "that it be an instruction to the Printing and Debates Committee to inquire into and report to this House in what manner retrenchment can best be effected in the cost of the publication of Hansard."[61]
15 June 1882 MPs rejected a motion "that members shall defray the cost of printing their own speeches in Hansard; and that such cost shall be deducted from the honorarium, if any, to which they may be entitled". (If it had been passed this motion would have allowed members to choose whether or not their speeches were reported in Hansard.)".[62]
7 November 1884 William Steward advised the House that the Reporting Debates and Printing Committee had sanctioned the ordering of four 'Caligraph' typewriters as a trial "with a view to adding to the facilities of the reporting staff".[63]
8 November 1884 Premier Robert Stout advised the House that Maurice FitzGerald, son of James FitzGerald, would be engaged to compile from newspaper reports speeches made in Parliament between 1854 and 1867.[64] This work was completed the following year but the last of the five volume compilation was not printed until 1887.[25]

Volumes

With the exception of 15 volumes, all of Hansard has been digitized, from the first sitting of the House in May 1854 up to September 1985, and these digital volumes are available via the links in the table below.

There is a gap of two years to 16 September 1987, after which Hansard to 6 November 2014 is available from The Knowledge Basket. Hansard from February 2003 is available from the NZ Parliament website.
