New Zealand law explained for everyone

National Parks Act 1980

3: Act to bind the Crown

You could also call this:

"This law applies to everyone, including the government"

This law applies to everyone, including the government. When we say "the Crown," we mean the government of New Zealand. So, this rule says that the National Parks Act 1980 must be followed by everyone, even the people who work for the government. It's like a rule in a game that everyone has to follow, no matter who they are or what job they have.
