Who knew ? We have blasphemy law in New Zealand

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy_law_in_New_Zealand

In New Zealand, Section 123[1] of the Crimes Act 1961 allows for imprisonment up to one year for anyone who publishes any “blasphemous libel”. Prosecution may proceed only with the leave of the Attorney-General.[2]

To date the only prosecution for blasphemous libel in New Zealand has been the case of John Glover, publisher of the newspaper The Maoriland Worker in 1922.[3] The Crown laid a charge of blasphemous libel over the 12 October 1921 issue of The Maoriland Worker which included two poems by British poet Siegfried Sassoon.[4]…

The case was tried in the Supreme Court in 1922.[5] The jury returned a verdict of not guilty…

…the Attorney-General usually refuses to pursue blasphemy prosecutions on the basis of free speech objections, as the right to free speech is protected within New Zealand’s Bill of Rights Act 1990.
