The supervisor is adamant that given the credit card I am using has an Australian address, the flight must be converted to Australian dollars.

She is citing the following rule, taken from the Technical Rule Sheet:

15. SALES RESTRICTIONS
Tickets must be issued on the stock of AA/AY/BA/CX/IB/JL/KA/LA/LP/MA/QF/RJ/XL/4M. When travel
originates in a country for which a specific local currency fares is published and the ticket is sold in another
country, the fare will be that published for the country of origin converted to the currency of the country of
sale at the bank selling rate. The resultant fare must not be lower than from the country of sale.

Her exact words were " the cheaper NZ fares are designed for resident of that country".
