The Crimes Act 1961 has a list of old laws that are no longer valid. You can find this list in the part of the Act called "New Zealand enactments repealed". This list was created because of a rule in section 412(2).

Some of the old laws that are no longer valid include the Acts Interpretation Act 1924 and the Capital Punishment Act 1950. There are also some old Crimes Acts and amendments to those Acts that are no longer valid. These old laws are listed in the "New Zealand enactments repealed" part of the Crimes Act 1961.

The list of old laws also includes some other Acts, such as the Indecent Publications Act 1910 and the Infants Act 1908. You can look at the list to see all the old laws that are no longer valid. The list is part of the Crimes Act 1961, which is a law that says what is and is not allowed in New Zealand.
