Gangs Act 2024

Preliminary provisions

6: Act binds 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 government must follow the Gangs Act 2024 just like everyone else. It doesn’t matter if you work for the government or not - this law affects all people in New Zealand the same way.
