Around Auckland there is a massive amount of this happening. Very rarely do I see a truck in the left hand lane (of the three available).
Rock up to any transport company in Auckland and say that, they'll be very happy for you to take a ride and see for yourself... Their actually doing the greater population a favour.
Merging like a zip wouldn't work to well if all the trucks were in the left lane and the tailback factor would start gridlocking the onramps behind them....
Are you another ex pat pom (there's so many of them on this site for some reason...) or a kiwi??? As the limit is 100k for cars on mway here and often not achieved due to traffic volumes and crap drivers there's virtually zero impact from trucks using the fast lane or even the middle lane.
