And again - no government authorisation of slavery in New Zealand. Taking slaves in defiance of law is a criminal action ... and missionaries acted against slavery (even that which was engaged in by the native inhabitants, and which had been a long going activity before Europeans ever found out that New Zealand existed.)
The argument that criminals do things means the country (and its government) is complicit doesn't seem all that sound.
