and the other dominions now called realms elizabeth the second by the grace of god of the united kingdom new zealand and her other realms and territories queen head of the commonwealth defender of the faith royal titles act 1953 nz s 2 royal titles proclamation 1953 ii new zealand gazette 851 the name of the state in official usage was also changed to the realm of new zealand 2 note 4 the term dominion largely fell into disuse over the next decade 2 the term persisted the longest in the names of institutions for instance the dominion museum was not renamed the national museum until 1972 35 businesses and in the constitutions of clubs and societies the dominion post a newspaper formed by a merger of the dominion first published on 26 september 1907 36 the day new zealand achieved dominion status and the evening post dropped dominion to become the post as late as april 2023 37 the change in style did not otherwise affect the legal status of new zealand or its government the 1907 royal proclamation of dominion status has never been revoked and remains in force today as such the term dominion may be included in the formal title of new zealand 2 3 nevertheless the opinion of the new zealand government is that new zealand became sovereign on foreign issues in 1947 both in terms of gaining formal legal control over the conduct of its foreign policy and the attainment of constitutional and plenary powers by its legislature 7 in passing the constitution act 1986 effective 1 january 1987 new zealand unilaterally revoked all residual united kingdom legislative power 38
