Published date: 7 Nov 2018
Petition request
That the House of Representatives pass legislation to ban the sale of fireworks to the public for private use.
Petition reason
Fireworks create mayhem and destruction, causing fires, injuries, and damage. They scare animals, and cause grief to homeowners. People set off fireworks at all times of the year - not just at Guy Fawkes - and all hours of the night, 7 days a week.
Signatures are now being accepted
Closing date: 31 Dec 2018 NZ Time
