Death penalty

"As Minister of Justice, it was his responsibility to introduce the law to Parliament, but he did so by saying that he disagreed with it." - which law? This is mentioned in the lede, but not alongside this sentence, in the body of the article. Do we have the name of the bill?

20th Canterbury-Otago Battalion

20th Canterbury-Otago Battalion is undefined, and unlinked (there's no article of that name). I'm not familiar with NZ military matters, but it seems to be part of the 2nd New Zealand Division. We have 23rd Battalion (New Zealand), so it could be a piped link to 20th Battalion (New Zealand). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:37, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
