This Act does not limit any rights or powers that Australia has to serve a subpoena in New Zealand on an Australian citizen. You can still be served a subpoena in New Zealand if you are an Australian citizen, because of Australian laws. The rules about serving subpoenas from Australia are not changed by this New Zealand Act, as shown in the link to related legislation.
