    NZ legislation is freely available to all citizens. Just Google 'Commercial Fishing Act, NZ' and that will come up with something. Be aware that some NZ Acts also have a separate set of Regulations that show how the act is administered. To be legally sure, you must read the Act and the Regulations together (eg; The Arms Act as a classic example). The prosecutor and the Courts will take the view that 'ignorance of the law is no excuse', however the Court will take a very dim view of any Gov't Dept that refused to at least quote the relevant legislation to any affected party.

    Remember that the taxpayers of NZ provide all the money that government and its various departments operate with. Any NZ legislation belongs to the public, and all government employees are 'public servants'. Every now and then they need to be reminded of that!
