Admittedly this is from 1998 but then again not much has changed in the
way of nz.* newsgroups since that time. Seems to me it could be the basis
for a revised FAQ in 2023. Of note nz.politics and the reason for it's existence.

The May 2007 version of the nz.* Usenet Hierarchy FAQ is available here: <https://web.archive.org/web/20131019084343/http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/nz-news-hierarchy/>

It can also be downloaded from Usenet by its Message-ID <nz-hir-faq.139@usenet.net.nz>,
provided you have access to a news server with long enough retention (such as Easynews).


Some differences from the 1998 version of the FAQ:

1. nz.biz.misc removed.
2. nz.org.isocnz removed.
3. nz.soc.maori added.
4. nz.tech added.

As far as I know, the May 2007 version is the last version posted.

Ah, thanks Ralf, that's really helpful. I'll have a read of this one.
