'env TZ=Pacific/Auckland date' results in an AM time, which is (or was)
correct. The rest of the Auckland and Wellington responses are wrong
though, both the Pacific/ and the New Zealand/ ones.
Best,

"New Zealand" isn't in the timezone list so date doesn't understand it.
Auckland is in Pacific, Wellington isn't in any (AFAICS).
Brisbane is in Australia zone.
See: /usr/share/zoneinfo/ for what is legal.
find /usr/share/zoneinfo -name Wellington (for example).
