John James Terris, QSO (born 19 June 1939, Wanganui) ,〔''Who’s Who in New Zealand'', 12th edition, edited by Max Lambert p626 (1981, Reed, Wellington)〕 is a New Zealand politician, priest and broadcaster who represented the Labour Party in the New Zealand parliament. ==Member of Parliament == Terris was first elected as the member for Western Hutt in . He became the opposition spokesperson on broadcasting; until he aroused the ire of the Left (Jim Anderton and Fran Wilde) by saying that there should also be a private channel, and was accused of "political incorrectness". So he was made the party spokesman on "Internal Affairs", a shadow portfolio generally reserved for "caucus down-and-outs". In 1984 he was not selected for Cabinet but was given the "consolation prize" of Deputy Speaker (hence also Acting Speaker), and Chairman of Committees of the House of Representatives from 1984 to 1990.〔(Broadcasting Standards Authority seeks to punish complainants ) ''viewers.org.nz'', 6 December 2010〕 In May 1990 Terris submitted a private members bill to force a binding referendum on the electoral system. His bill was defeated but a referendum eventually occurred in 1992.〔(MMP Or SM? A Big Decision Looms For New Zealand Voters ) ''scoop.co.nz'', 30 June 2011〕 Terris represented the Western Hutt electorate until 1990, when he was defeated by National's Joy McLauchlan, one of a number of losses contributing to the fall of the Fourth Labour Government. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Terris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
