Crimes against public order - Offence of oath to commit offence
82: Seditious conspiracy
You could also call this:
“This law, which made it illegal for people to work together to oppose the government, no longer exists.”
This section of the law, called ‘Seditious conspiracy’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. However, it no longer exists. The government removed it on 1 January 2008. They did this by passing a new law called the Crimes (Repeal of Seditious Offences) Amendment Act 2007. This means that whatever ‘Seditious conspiracy’ once meant, it is not a crime anymore under New Zealand law.
