(2) For subsection (1), a program is produced under the creative control of New Zealanders if:
(a) the producer of the program is a New Zealander, or the producers of the program are New Zealanders (whether or not the program is produced in conjunction with a co‑producer, or an executive producer, who is not a New Zealander); and

(e) the program is produced and post‑produced in New Zealand (whether or not it is filmed in New Zealand); and
