Realm of New Zealand
Although anti-discrimination laws and civil unions apply in New Zealand, these do not apply in the territories of Niue, Tokelau or the Cook Islands due to their separate legislatures. Sodomy remains a crime in the Cook Islands, although in Niue and Tokelau the sodomy laws were repealed from the Niue Act in 2007. Sections 170 and 171 that mention buggery have been repealed.
