Not from NZ. Just because it's the same satellite doesn't mean that the
transmission is receivable - in fact the transmissions are quite
directional. If you have a look at the beam column you'll notice that Sky
and Freeview generally have NZB while Australian channels have  NB. Clicking
on these values will show you a map of signal strengths which makes it clear
that there is no chance of picking up a NB signal over here.

Cheers,
Steve
