- Description
A man throws a lifebelt from a huge ship named 'Labour' to a man on the verge of drowning far below. The man is Harry Duynhoven, Labour member for New Plymouth and Minister for Transport Safety. Harry Duynhoven almost lost his seat in parliament when he applied to restore his Dutch citizenship.
On June 11 the Privileges Committee declared that Harry Duynhoven's (New Plymouth) seat should be declared vacant "by reason of his application to the royal Netherlands Embassy to reacquire his Dutch nationality." The Government had two choices - the Speaker could call a by-election for the seat, or they could amend the Electoral Act to change the law and allow Mr Duynhoven to remain in his seat. They chose the second. So, on Wednesday night, the House went into urgency to debate the Electoral (Vacancies) Amendment Bill.
