Can you point out a couple of instances where the mileage calculator shows lesser miles than you are entitled to.

Thats not inconsistent, that's the way it is supposed to work - tier bonuses are calculated on the full tier earning miles and then added to the actual skywards miles for the flight.
So, for AKL- SYD. The Flex earning mileage is 2000 miles, the saver earning mileage is 1000, the Silver bonus is 25% of 2000 = 500 miles, the Gold bonus is 50% of 2000 = 1000 miles, and the Platinum bonus = 75% of 2000 = 1500 miles.
So for a Flex fare, the total Skywards miles are
2000, 2000+500=2,500, 2000+1000=3,000, 2000+1500=3,500 for Blue, Silver, Gold, Platinum
And for a Saver fare, the total Skywards miles are
1000, 1000+500=1,500, 1000+1000=2,000, 1000+1500=2,500 for Blue, Silver, Gold, Platinum
