Talk:LGBT rights in Niue

Re: same-sex sexual activity in Niue
The article states that "[s]ame-sex sexual activity is legal in Niue" and has been since 2007. I believe this to be incorrect.

My understanding is that the Niue Act 1966, which criminalises "buggery" in section 170, remains in force in Niue. The 2007 Niue Amendment Act repeals most of the provisions of the 1966 Act, however this was an Act of the New Zealand Parliament, not the Niue Assembly. Since the Niue Constitution Act 1974 (Part 36, Schedule 2) provides that New Zealand legislation passed subsequent to Constitution Day (19 October 1974) does not extend to Niue without the Niue Assembly's express consent, it would seem that Part 5 of the Niue Act 1966, including the provision relating to same-sex sexual conduct, remains applicable in Niue.

See the following, both of which were written after 2007 and refer to s 170 of the Niue Act 1966 as current, applicable law:

 * You are correct, the Table of Act in force in Niue does not include the Niue Amendment Act 2007. Which means it did not extend to Niue. I have edited the article.--203.218.95.22 (talk) 06:12, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
