Why people convert NST to Auckland time

Scheduling a call from NST to Auckland: a 10:00 AM start in NST lands at 2:30 AM in Auckland the next day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a +16h 30m gap: NST and Auckland have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Auckland is 1:30 AM in NST.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in NST is 12:30 PM in Auckland makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM NST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +16h 30m gap is not.
With a +16h 30m gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week NST takes the early slot, the next week Auckland does.
