[Question] New Zealand — what am I missing here

Question

Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.

The advice on New Zealand in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.

I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

Yeah, the 2024 rule change was sudden.

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

Adding to this: shortage is doing more work than the comment implies.

Came off after 50 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Ireland here. Waited 20 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

Came off after 39 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
