[No. 84

ARREST AND DETENTION OF ALIENS.

Any police officer or member of His Majesty’s Forces who has reason to believe that any alien, whether registered or not, is guilty of such conduct that his liberty is a source of public danger or is disaffected or has acted or is about to act in any manner injurious to public safety or the interests of His Majesty, may take that alien into custody pending the decision of the Minister.
(1) Upon its being made clear to the Minister that the liberty of any alien is a source of public danger or that he is disaffected or has acted or is about to act in any manner injurious to public safety or the interests of His Majesty, he may order that such alien may be taken into custody during his pleasure.

(2) Any alien taken into custody and detained by the order of the Minister shall be delivered into the custody of the military authorities.

(3) In making any order under this regulation the Minister shall be deemed to be acting in an executive and not in a judicial capacity.

EMPLOYMENT OF ALIENS ON A WHARF OR SHIP.

(1) Save in pursuance of a license issued by a Registration Officer, it shall not be lawful for any alien or for any person who is a British subject by naturalization only to be engaged in the work of loading or unloading a ship or to be engaged in any manner of work whatever on or about any wharf or ship.

(2) Nothing in this regulation shall apply to the work on or about any ship of the master or any member of the crew thereof who has arrived in that ship from any place out of New Zealand.

(3) Every person who procures or permits any other person to be engaged in any work in breach of this regulation shall be guilty of an offence against these regulations and shall be liable accordingly :

Provided that on a prosecution for any such offence it shall be a good defence that the accused believed on reasonable grounds that such engagement was not in breach of this regulation.

(4) Every license issued by a Registration Officer under this regulation may be in the form marked AL. 4 in the Schedule hereto and may contain such terms and conditions as such Registration Officer thinks fit and shall be revocable at the will of a Registration Officer.

Any person to whom a Registration Officer has refused to grant a license, or whose license has been revoked by a Registration Officer under the last preceding regulation, may appeal therefrom in writing to the Minister, and the Minister in his executive capacity may thereupon give to the Registration Officer such final directions in the matter as he thinks fit.
Any police officer or officer of Customs may question any person engaged on or about to be engaged on the work of loading or unloading a ship or on any manner of work on or about a ship or any person found upon a wharf or ship as to his identity and present or former nationality, and any person who refuses or neglects to answer any question so put to him or answers such question in a false or misleading manner shall be guilty of an offence against these regulations and shall be liable accordingly.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"
2000–Present (CC-BY 3.0 NZ): Gazette issues published on gazette.govt.nz are Crown copyright but are explicitly licensed by the Department of Internal Affairs under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 New Zealand licence (CC-BY 3.0 NZ).
