I beg to differ regarding being in NZ for a long time. In fact the opportunity to return to Aus is improving vastly since the integration of VARA. With Tiger going all 737 and accepting transfers from VA in 2018 that becomes a very real option for the NZ guys. Also, VARA being short and no longer releasing guys will help the NZ to AUS transfers (no restriction there). Also, I believe plenty of Ejet crew are leaving to go overseas (think ANA). With the A330 more than likely requiring extra crew to operate to China there could be quite a lot of vacancies coming up in VAA next year!
