“What important words mean in this part of the law”

In this part of the law, the word “Minister” means any Minister of the Crown. This applies unless the context suggests it should mean something else. You can think of a Minister as a top government official who helps run the country. The Crown refers to the government of New Zealand. So, when you see “Minister” in this part of the law, it’s talking about one of these important government leaders.
