Norfolk to OZ mainland is not a normal domestic route. Flights from OZ to Norfolk depart from int terminals & you can buy duty free.
Think the idea of say a Perth(PER) to Maroochydore(MCY) to Auckland(AKL) makes sense in an A321neo.
They already fly seasonally AKL/MCY/AKL, even though Brisbane(BNE) is less than 90 mins drive down the road, as long as not peak hour & Gold Coast(OOL) another 90 mins drive beyond BNE. That seems to work & don't think there's any subsidy involved. An extension to PER would make a lot of sense.
or PER/OOL/AKL.
Only Jetstar does PER/OOL year round (think it's 3 days a week & red eyes, which many people don't like) Virgin do it twice a week in Xmas school holidays.
or maybe better to not fly to AKL, but instead Wellington, Christchurch or Queenstown.
Only Jetstar(JQ) flies OOL/Queenstown(ZQN) nonstop. Surely NZ can compete with JQ.
