swh, I think if they stick it on your nz licence from an aussie one then they will put "issued under ttmra" on your licence and claim it is a conversion to stop you trying to fly overseas on a nz licence with the NG type rating. Under the guidelines of the ttrma IT IS NOT A CONVERSION FROM A FORIEGN LICENCE so legally the caa in nz can't call it this, but it doesn't stop them. Casa have already been dragged into legal battle with NZ Caa by some aussie pilots when NZ caa refused to honour the ttrma.
