1 Conscription
conscription does not exist
Conscription was abolished in 1973.
There is no legislation providing for conscription, as the Military Service Act was repealed in 1973. Conscription is not enshrined in the Constitution. [3] [4]
There is no compulsory registration for military service. [3]
Some New Zealand First party politicians are in favour of re-introducing conscription but they have little backing over this opinion.
