New Zealand has a constitution, but it is not set out in one all-inclusive document – it consists of a series of formal legal documents, decisions of the courts and the practices we describe as conventions.
This Act recognises that the Queen, the Sovereign in right of New Zealand, is the Head of State of New Zealand and that the Governor-General appointed by her is her representative.

 Origins of the New Zealand Flag (1840-1898)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
New Zealand was the first colony to implement the Admiralty instruction that any vessel provided and used under the 3rd section of the 1865 Colonial Defence Act should wear the Blue Ensign with the seal or badge of the colony in the fly.
A warrant signed by the Governor, Sir George Grey, and published in the New Zealand Gazette on 10th January 1867, directed that all vessels in the service of the colony should wear the Blue Ensign with letters NZ in red in the fly.
My interpretation is that the 1869 proclamation was referring to the UJ as a separate flag, (not to the UJ in the canton of the Blue Ensign) with the stars grouped in the centre of the cross, not spread along the arms, and that the 1874 proclamation corrects this.

 New Zealand Government Policy Post 1984
In effect the actions of the New Zealand government and its close allies within the business community managed, through a series of sophisticated and well managed contributions, to problematise key issues such as the critical state of the economy and the role of government in the public sector.
Indeed it was a Labour government that first applied such policies, in a relatively pure form to the New Zealand economy, to reverse the interventionist and protectionist policies of the previous administration.
A number of new organisations appeared seeking to influence government policy at this time and other organisations experienced very significant changes in their relative positions as regard their ability to influence policy or even be invited to contribute.

 New Zealand Government Gene Contamination Coverup Exposed
New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark (Photo courtesy Office of the Prime Minister) New Zealand investigative journalist Nicky Hager revealed the illegality and its coverup in his book "Seeds of Distrust" released early this morning.

The revelations are likely to affect the ability of Clark's Labor Government to win a majority of seats in the July 27 election and thus be able to form a new government.

 New Zealand Government
The New Zealand and Australian people, when independence from Britain came in 1920, were never asked by their Governments what laws they wished their new nations to operate under.
In essence, he argues, the moves by Australia, New Zealand and Canada to simply continue their existing government systems without asking the citizens of the new nations for their views, were akin to building a skyscraper without getting a building permit or planning permission.
New Zealand politicians were even more backward, failing to realise they were legally independent for 27 years, and failing to implement a Constitution right up to the present day.
