I wonder what us kiwis did to deserve this.

You guys haven't been great at sharing the Bledisloe Cup with us Aussies.

That said also geoblocked here in Australia.

GDPR related perhaps? A lot of sites just blocked everyone outside USA/Canada due to that.

GDPR doesn’t apply to New Zealand.

Although I’d gladly welcome our Kiwi friends into the EU.

GDPR is specifically applicable to EU citizens globally.

Yes, I simplified.

But that still wouldn’t explain why the webpage isn’t available in New Zealand.

So then logically, wouldn't you geoblock earth for compliance reasons?
