Hey Shaun, There is in fact an en_AU one that is based on the GB one. (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries#English_.28United_Kingdom.2C_....29) (http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oooau/) This is the one we've used in the companies custom OOo build and it works fine. The reason we need a specific NZ one is that there are many Maori words that have made their way into everyday use in NZ. So for instance in an NZ thesaurus, a synonym for "good" would be "kapai", for food; kai, for broken: patu. in an en_UK or en_US thesaurus these would be nonsense. All these words are included in the en_NZ spellcheck dictionaries. The idea is to set up a My Thesaurus en_NZ server and then add the others as and if needed. Most people tend to use the en_US interface with the en_other dictionaries and Thes. That's what we are doing at this point.
