Follow what it says in the Road Code and you'll be sweet. As for Filtering, the subjuct has been debated to death and back and the jury is still out on it, so my advice is just don't do it if a cop is near by.
And welcome to the site.

if you are planing to do anything in the "grey" area of the law.. just make sure you leave your license plate at home..

Enjoy your time in Kiwiland take the time to look around. Don't be in a hurry.
Play by the rules and you'll keep your license (probably keep it in your pocket).
Up to you how far you bend them though.

Don't go 40kph over the limit. Any points you get here will not be transferred to your pommy license.

You need to have your license with you, we don't get anything as civilised as 7 days to present it to the local constabulary. It's a humungous fine too - something like $400.
You can drive on a UK license for up to a year, I assume that riding's the same.
Brush up on the right of way rules, they're thoroughly fucked up.

Welcome to KiwiBiker Sam!
Some pointers on keeping your licence in NZ:
"Filtering" through traffic when there is ample room to pass and you indicate clearly is quite legal, 'lanesplitting' on the other hand is illegal unless you do it safely on the right passing vehicles that are stationery or moving very slowly, eg. at traffic lights and intersections where the traffic is backed up.
Don't do excess speeds in residential areas, motorways, and some of the main State Highways (eg. SH1) as there are too many cops, speed cameras & traps nowadays. Go on some Auckland KB rides and find out where the popular back roads are situated that you can open it up a bit more on.
Keep your bike warranted (WOF) and registered, police over here do random checkpoints where these are checked.
Enjoy KB and New Zealand.

Does that mean that if I went for an OE in aussie or uk I could get a licence over there and then ride here without getting any demerits (for a year anyway)? Or do they still count them.

No. If you have a New Zealand drivers licence and an overseas one your NZ licence will incur points.
