The format for citing speeches is as follows:

Eg Sian Elias, Chief Justice of New Zealand “First Peoples and Human Rights, a South Seas Perspective” (Ramo Lecture 2008, New Mexico School of Law, Albuquerque, 23 October 2008).

Give both the name of the speaker and the role the speaker occupies, if relevant. The speaker’s role follows the name, separated by a comma.

If the speaker is a minister or an official speaking in an official capacity, record that fact after the speaker’s name, separated by a comma.

Give the title of the speech in double quotation marks, with spelling and capitalisation as per the original (unless the original is in all capitals, in which case capitalise only the first letter of significant words).

Prefix the location of the speech by an indication that the reference is to a speech, such as “speech to” or “paper presented to”, unless it is clear from the title of the speech. If the speech is a named lecture, give the name of the lecture instead.

For the location, give the town or city.

Eg David Baragwanath, Judge of the Court of Appeal of New Zealand “Magna Carta and the New Zealand Constitution” (speech to the English Speaking Union, Wellington, 29 June 2008).

Enclose both the location and the date in round brackets and separated by a comma.

Give the date on which the speech was delivered in full.
