This bill amends the Evidence Act 2006 to extend the range of possible protections for parties and witnesses giving evidence of sexual assaults or family harm in the Family Court to mirror those available to similarly vulnerable complainants and witnesses in criminal proceedings.

This bill seeks to restore protections afforded to Kiwisaver members by the Employment Relations Act 2000 before it was amended by the Employment Relations Amendment Act 2008. It aims to ensure that workers cannot be discriminated against because they are members of a Kiwisaver scheme or a complying superannuation fund.
