WHEREAS by section 2 of the Public Safety Conservation Act, 1932, it is provided that if at any time it appears to the Governor-General that any action has been taken or is immediately threatened by any persons or body of persons of such a nature and on so extensive a scale as to be calculated, by interfering with the supply and distribution of food, water, fuel, or light or with the means of locomotion, to deprive the community or any substantial portion of the community of the essentials of life, he may, by Proclamation approved in Executive Council, declare that a state of emergency exists throughout New Zealand or throughout any area that may be specified or defined in the Proclamation:
And whereas it appears to me that action has been taken by certain persons and bodies of persons of such a nature and on so extensive a scale as to be calculated, by interfering with the supply and distribution of food and fuel and with the means of locomotion, to deprive a substantial portion of the community of the essentials of life:
Now, therefore, I, Lieutenant-General Sir Bernard Cyril Freyberg, the Governor-General of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred on me by the said section 2, and with the approval of the Executive Council, do hereby declare that a state of emergency exists throughout New Zealand.
Given under the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General, and issued under the Seal of New Zealand, this 20th day of September, 1950.

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"
