The text of parliamentary bills from 1949 to 2008 is now available on the New Zealand Legal Information Institute (NZLII) website in PDF format.
The bills have been made available through a project between the Parliamentary Counsel Office and NZLII to make historical legislative documents available online.
The PCO says the volumes will be added to over time and will extend back to 1854 when complete. The collection includes bills that became Acts as well as those that did not.
