DBC within and from NZ ?

From previous postings I gather there's no proper DBC policy to compensate passengers who get 'bumped' from NZ domestic flights.

But I wonder what the situation is for international flights ?

I know that if ANZ has to bump a passenger from an overbooked flight departing from an airport in the US or EU it would have to pay DBC in line with local rules. The authorities in the US and EU are strict on this matter.

But would an international airline, like ANZ, have to pay DBC to a passenger it has to bump on an international flight departing a New Zealand airport and bound, say, to Hong Kong or London ?

(I know that EU carriers must pay DBC for flights destined for the EU but, of course, no EU carriers serve NZ).
