Bill of Rights 1990
The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (sometimes known by its acronym, NZBORA or
BORA) is a statute of the New Zealand Parliament setting out the rights and fundamental freedoms
of the citizens of New Zealand as a Bill of rights. It is part of New Zealand's uncodified
constitution.
In 1985 a White Paper entitled "A Bill of Rights for New Zealand", was tabled in Parliament by the
then Minister of Justice, Hon Geoffrey Palmer. The paper proposed a number of controversial
features, which sparked widespread debate:
• The Bill of Rights was to become entrenched law so that it could not be amended or
repealed without a 75% majority vote in the House of Representatives or a simple majority
in a public referendum;
• The Bill of Rights was to therefore have status as supreme law, thereby causing some
erosion to the doctrine of Parliamentary sovereignty;
• The Treaty of Waitangi was to be wholly incorporated within the Bill of Rights thus
elevating the Treaty's status to that of supreme law;
• The Judiciary would have the power to invalidate any Act of Parliament, common law rule
or official action which was contrary to the Bill of Rights.
Application of the Bill of Rights
The Act applies only to acts done by the three branches of government (the legislature, executive
and judiciary) of New Zealand, or any body in the "performance of any public function, power, or
duty" created by the law (Section 3).

The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990
The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 safeguards the civil and political rights of New
Zealanders.
The Act protects the following categories of rights and freedoms: life and security of the person;
democratic and civil rights; non-discrimination and minority rights; search, arrest and detention;
criminal procedure; and right to justice.
The Act is not higher law and does not "override" other laws, but it does nevertheless provide
protection for the rights in it. The Courts must interpret other laws consistently with the Bill of
Rights Act if at all possible. Further, all bills are assessed for consistency with the Bill of Rights
Act before they are introduced into Parliament. Where there is an inconsistency in a bill, the
Attorney-General must inform Parliament. While this does not prevent Parliament passing
inconsistent laws, it does ensure that any issues are fully debated.
The Human Rights Act 1993
The Human Rights Act 1993 is aimed at giving all people equal opportunities and preventing unfair
treatment on the basis of irrelevant personal characteristics. The Human Rights Act covers
discrimination on the grounds of sex, marital status, religious belief, ethical belief, colour, race,
ethnic or national origins, disability, age, political opinion, employment status, family status, and
sexual orientation. It is unlawful to discriminate on these grounds in the following areas of public
life: employment, education, access to public places, provision of goods and services, and housing
and accommodation. People who think they have been discriminated against may complain to the
Human Rights Commission.
New Zealand Human Rights Act 1993
The Human Rights Act 1993 is an Act of the Parliament of New Zealand which deals with
discrimination. It was a consolidation and amendment of The Race Relations Act 1971 and the
5
Human Rights Commission Act 1977. It passed into law 1 February 1994. The Act governs the
work of the New Zealand Human Rights Commission.
It also outlawed discrimination on a wide variety of grounds, including:[1]
1. Sex (including pregnancy and childbirth)
2. Marital status
3. Religious belief
4. Ethical belief
5. Colour
6. Race
7. Ethnic or national origins
8. Disability
9. Age
10. Political opinion
11. Employment status
12. Family status
13. Sexual orientation
There are a significant number of caveats, including "genuine occupational qualification,"
"domestic employment in a private household," "to preserve reasonable standards of privacy,"
"national security" and "organised religion."
