It looks like most Australian trusts will be caught because they have to 'apply' to NZ IRD for an exemption. I can't see any of them bothering to do that.

I am still awaiting a response from Platinum. Given that they advertise heavily in NZ and target NZ investors quite strongly, I suspect that they'd like PIE status (perhaps, I'm just hoping that it'll be the case)
