Thanks everybody for replies here and off list, and especially Jonathan for that Pacific island case . Summary I got:

1. Spark is not government owned, my bad, so they can do whatever they want as a private business.

2. Vodafone do actually peer at NZ IXs, and that's cool.

3. It still looks... sub-optimal. Traffic still goes between Spark NZ and <random ISP>, and instead of using cheap IX link it's using expensive NZ-AU cable. Yep, cable is used with a different in/out ratio for Spark and <random ISP>, but approach "we suffer a bit but they will suffer more" seems to be lying too far in a "business area" from my purely technical sit..
