I would not be giving them any ammunition to suggest that you first arrived in NZ more than a year ago and are still driving on an overseas licence regardless of whether or not you have been in and out, or only just started driving here.
Is it just one NZ insurance company or all of them? Good thing I don't have claims yet! Thanks for the suggestion, no they don't know how long I've been here as they don't ask that question anyway.
Anyway the failure I did is that I didn't say I was agreeing with @ekini that the NZ licence doesn't have to be applied for after the 12 months, and that applying earlier may be better as you're a more careful driver
That's the lost context I didn't get to express.
Don't worry the theory test is done and practical had been booked
