But the rule is in many ways a joke anyway - unless the Govt enforce wearing masks in the terminal as well (like Australia), it seems rather pointless just making it mandatory on the plane.
Security screening and boarding all involve close contacts where aerosol spread could easily occur.

Trays are the most toxic places on earth if you're to believe lots of studies. It's hardly surprising in the US where they even get everybody's shoes in them as well.

Air NZ largest shareholder is this Govt, who arguably remain in power only due to the overhyped Covid fear factor. Hardly surprising if some ears aren’t being bent and arms twisted to very publicly keep it ramped up. Most crew on my recent flights admitted being totally over the mask issue. I’m still looking for the biohazard disposal bins at aircraft exits.

Waste bins at the airport for gloves and masks and big signs saying "do not put masks in these bins" above all the regular rubbish bins is so 2020.
Now there are signs up for masks to just go in general rubbish. Really sums up the risk based approach to this...

Ive come to the realisation recently, that New Zealand’s Covid-19 response is based on two key features 1: marketing, and 2: an lot of hope.
The fact that you only have to wear them on the aircraft is an joke, 90% of people have removed them the second they have left the aircraft. At least on the aircraft you can contact trace people pretty quickly, yet tracing who some mixed with in an domestic terminal like AKL,CHC,WLG would be extremely hard.
