Because that implies someone would have to pay the international v6 transit to other countries. That's expensive. In NZ especially, that would provide a mechanism for individuals to utilise national/wix/ape traffic to deliver stuff internationally. That's a big burden on the friendly tunnel broker. Of course you could have a NZ-only tunnel broker.... but that would basically just be a peering exchange. Telstra & Telecom are the ones who could perceivably afford to trial a broker service with international connectivity, but peering isn't their flavour of the decade I'm afraid. Problem is NZ doesn't really have a solid IP research network a-la aarnet who have the resources to do good things for the public good. WIX is natively v6 capable already for local transit, IIRC.

If you want to reach v6 content, the easiest thing to do is find an ISP who can give you v6 transit. In the absense of local carriers with dual-stack edge routers (i.e. in the case of most of the planet) the way you do this is terminate a tunnel somewhere.
Why is there no IPv6 tunnel broker in NZ?
