Could it be that the booking class is not available on the domestic leg on the dates you select, even though the cheap booking class is available ex AKL?
That seems to be the problem, looking at a few dates. On some days the itinerary forces an overnight connection in AKL, and puts pax on the last HKK-CHC flight of the day, which often seems to only have Y availability, which forces the fare into Y for the whole itinerary.

The New Zealand price is available, but is dependent on availability on individual segments. The segments you chose don't have availability for the cheap fares; and I note they are available on other days.
