it does say in the small print - "Capacity is limited and will not be available on all flights", which I take to mean ifit does not show the special price ex AKL then normal rules apply you pays what the system says.

If however it shows the special ex AKL, then the special ex NZ should apply.
EG Auckland to Samoa - 28 march $173 + tax ($199), Christchurch to Samoa $223 + tax, Hokitika to Samoa $422 + tax. Try again 9 April, from Auckland $173 + tax, from Christchurch $447 + tax , from Hokitika $900 + tax.

Either it is a special from New Zeland or it is not, to try and rely on "not available all flights" is a load of claptrap. The advertising clearly states a price from Auckland and a price form New Zealand, the other advertising shows the fares applicable from New Zealand being $50 dearer than Auckland, but NZ continue to mislead.
