Don't lump NZ in with Aus, different government, different laws. Afaik the trying to outlaw encryption stuff hasn't hopped the ditch yet.

While they haven't been as outspoken on encryption It's still an offense to refuse to unlock a device. If you're visiting NZ it's best not to travel with a laptop and to take reasonable precautions with your mobile devices.

NZ is legally speaking a few years behind Australia.

Just take a look at up coming legislation, I think its the MMP system that slows down these laws.

They will still happen just at a slower pace and with better timed PR.
