New Zealand Bill of Rights Act

The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act (1990) is a law that protects fundamental freedoms and rights for all people in New Zealand, such as freedom of speech, religion, and fair treatment under the law. It ensures government actions respect these rights, serving as a safeguard against abuse of power. While it does not override other laws, if there’s a conflict, courts can review legislation or government decisions to ensure they comply with the rights outlined in the Act. Overall, it promotes fairness, protection, and accountability in New Zealand’s legal and political systems.
