I just saw this on the INZ website, don't know how relevant it is to everyone, but anyway:
The Minister of Immigration has today announced changes to the definition of recognised work experience under the Skilled Migrant Category. These changes take effect from 24 July 2006.
The new definition allows points to be awarded for work experience in an area of absolute skills shortage, gained in any labour market. Previously, only work experience gained in a comparable labour market was recognised, unless applicants had skilled employment, or an offer of skilled employment, in New Zealand.
there's more at

They are also making changes to the Immediate and Long Term Skill Shortage Lists.
