Photo of Sawn-Off Shotgun from the web.
This is despite a pilot program started in 2012 between these two Police Forces to share information.
A police spokes person is reported to have said that they were aware of the applicant having "one conviction" and "that was not serious enough to stop him getting a gun licence".
Radio New Zealand state that New Zealand police confirmed that they don't carry out mandatory criminal record checks with their Australian counterparts before issuing gun licences.
Why not?
I am also disgusted to observe that the Radio New Zealand website has chosen to place a photograph of a S&W Revolver to illustrate their story - when the case involves a gang associate buying and sawing-off rifles and shotguns.

After researching & writing 1,036 blogs I've got something NEW to try .. I've signed-up to Patreon. - In over five years I've not made one cent from this .. NOW you can send me a wee support $ - starting from $1. to get all this stuff from New Zealand - over a year that's nearly the price of one Shooting magazine. - Am I worth it?
