I don't think anyone in NZ really notice. It has become normal.

What's more important - the quality of the person, or the presence of X and Y chromosomes?

Great news
Fighto!
Was NZ a nation in 1893?
Anyway, good for them. An even gender balance is what all countries should aim for.

No, the best people for the job is what countries should aim for. If the best person for the job is a woman, that's perfectly fine with me, but setting quotas for positions of power and responsibility is not the way to solve a perceived gender imbalance. Instead, set appropriate incentives to attract the best people.

Women complain a lot about Men. This rebalancing could make the minority (Men) feel some pain.

Wow, good thing NZ doesn’t have quotas, then.
