Good to see you Ozzies reverting to type when the going gets tough! Stop listening to baseles rumours and self serving pols looking towards an upcoming election and diverting blame from themselves, Anderson & Howard foremost. The only engines you can get on an Air NZ B747 are the four that make the noise.
Try looking in the mirror for once. Ansett has been a('n Australian, please note)basket case for over 12 years.
Where were all you bleaters when Ansett(Oz) was bleeding Ansett NZ dry by foisting useless aircraft on them at rapacious lease rates? Where were you when Australians, having been bailed out by well-meaning Kiwi businessmen (another ailing Oz airline on NZ's doorstep), then refused to assist, in the shape of Qantas, to keep the airline going and save Kiwi jobs with Australian cash? Right now Australian pilots are flying NZ domestic routes on Oz licences in Oz registered jets. Should we take the same 'mature' attitude to them as you lot appear eager to do to us.
If you want someone to direct your anger at, try the inept Ansett mangement and don't be so emotional.
