The New Zealand Defence Act 1990 prohibits the use of military uniform without lawful authority. This includes wearing military camouflage dress, which is considered a type of military uniform.
There are a few exceptions to this rule, such as when a person is participating in a military-themed event or when they are part of an authorised re-enactment group. However, in general, the wearing of military camouflage dress in public events is prohibited.
This prohibition is in place to help maintain the integrity and professionalism of the New Zealand Defence Force. It is also important to note that wearing military camouflage dress can be misleading and confusing to the public, and can potentially be used for criminal purposes.
If you are unsure about whether or not you can wear military camouflage dress in public, you should contact your local police station or defence force recruiting office.
