On 11 December 2018, the Misuse of Drugs act was amended via a new Bill allowing for much broader use of medical marijuana, making the drug available to a wide range of chronically or terminally ill patients. In December 2018, the Sixth Labour Government announced a nationwide, binding referendum on the legality of cannabis for personal use, set to be held as part of the 2020 general election.

FGM is an issue in New Zealand because of the number of migrants from countries where FGM is commonly practiced settling in New Zealand. FGM is referred to as procedures that, for non-medical reasons, intend to cause harm to female genital organs. The procedures may have negative health impacts by causing problems such as urinating, infections, severe bleeding and complications during childbirth.

In New Zealand, FGM is regarded as a violation of human rights. The practice of FGM was therefore made illegal in 1996 under an amendment to the Crimes Act 1961. Under section 204A of the Crimes Act 1961, it is illegal to perform any form of female genital mutilation.

Certain plant species have been designated by the CFIA as noxious weeds in the "Weed Seeds Order". Each province also produces its own list of prohibited weeds. In Alberta, for example, a new "Weed Control Act" was proclaimed in 2010 with two weed designations: "prohibited noxious" (46 species) which are banned across Alberta, and "noxious" (29 species) which can be restricted at the discretion of local authorities.

It has been widely grown as an ornamental garden plant and for cut flower production, but has become a weed in South Africa, Tanzania, Italy, Portugal, Sardinia, India, Indonesia, New Zealand, as well as Western Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales.

Agapanthus is often seen planted alongside fences in home gardens and framing driveway entrances.

As a consequence, the world record reverted to the 89.58m mark that Backley had set in 1990.

Specific education campaigns on the risks of dumping garden waste could be targeted at high-risk societal groups such as residents of housing in close proximity to reserves as well as members of gardening communities and plant sellers. Restricting the selection of garden species in new housing developments adjacent to reserves may reduce the effects of illegal dumping, thereby reducing requirement and associated cost of weed management.

Consequently, the term "noxious weed" is no longer used in official publications in New Zealand. The Weeds Act, 1959 covers Great Britain, and is described as "preventing the spread of harmful or injurious weeds".
