The House

New Zealand's House of Representatives 1854-2004

Two women playing pool

Labour MPs Dorothy Jelicich (left) and Mary Batchelor play pool in the members' lounge, 1975. Women were not particularly welcome in this space. Whetu Tirikatene-Sullivan pressed for an area in the lounge to be devoted to newspapers and magazines, but got only a tiny, screened-off corner.
