I had also heard that they were not happy with some ISP's using the domestic
peering points to aquire cheaper international bandwidth.

What a good idea.
Someone with some spare hands on their time needs to lobby the
government to make peering in NZ legislation.
Although TNZ and TCNZ will be wearing a lot of the network costs in
terms of trunking traffic up and down the country, they also have most
of the customers - so I think that's fair and justified.
If they are worried about people using their networks as a free national
backbone via the peering points, there are ways to allow peering but
prevent being used as free transit...

In particular, see point 5:
5. Plan to connect all ISPs in India to a national internet exchange in
order to achieve efficient internet traffic routing, cost reduction and
improve quality of service for the Internet users in India.
Four Internet exchanges points to be fully operationalised. Small and
big ISPs to route their traffic through this exchange to ensure the
security of domestic traffic. Currently, 25 ISPs are connected.

Note the reasons for doing this especially "improve quality of service
