Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Housing): There are very few points in New Zealand history when this House has come to consider the days on which we will mark our nationhood. We can point to 1899, when this House made a decision to honour Labour Day as a public holiday. We can point to 1920, when this House decided that Anzac Day was a day befitting of a public holiday to mark out who we are as a people. We can point to 1973, when this House decided that Waitangi Day, 6 February, was a line and a mark in the sand that we should put, as a nation, to mark out who we are as a people.
