Business class inventory is I class which is released 330 days out and on NZ-USA and LAX-LHR usually sells out within 24 hours of release.

Unsold business seats are sometimes made available as R or Z class awards in the last few days before departure, but only to Air NZ Gold Elites (million miler equivalent) and not to ordinary Air NZ frequent flyers, let alone other airlines!

Perhaps DCF is referring to the heavily discounted business class awards (which at any time are only made available to Koru Club, Gold and GEs)?

Yes DCF is referring to special award inventory rather than "any seat" airpoints awards.
