Answer

No. NZTA undertakes regular audits of overseas driver licence conversions and informs relevant enforcement agencies, such as NZ Police and Immigration NZ (via MBIE), of any issues where appropriate. NZ Police and Immigration NZ are responsible for briefing their respective Ministers as required.
