now before i am corrected my source of info was from a television program similar to "airport" where a family arrived at check in without passports and were not allowed to fly.

Silly i know.......did anyone else see this episode?

Just trying to imagine which domestic flights would go via NZ? Bit of a long way round, I'd want a very cheap flight for that!
I book domestic flights for work colleagues, and we always advise them to take a passport if they have one, though I've not yet heard of anyone refused for only having a driving licence.
I'd suggest that if you don't have an Aussie licence, take your passport simply because check-in staff are more familiar with international passports than they are with international licences.

I agree - the family that booked it were on a budget and didnt read the small print. I think they flew Emitates so that may expain it......just thought i would mention it that was all :)
