Treasury fudges numbers to hide growing inequality
Published: February 1, 2013
The Greens are complaining that Treasury is misleading us about NZ's comparative inequality rating, intimating it is behaving like a "right wing think tank" - dishonestly they say.
(I've commented - in moderation currently - to the effect that recent trends show inequality reducing in NZ and linking to my sources)

From your OECD link:
"From the mid-1980s to the late-2000s, inequality rose in 15 out of 19 countries. The increase was strongest in Finland, New Zealand and Sweden. Declines occurred in France, Greece, and Turkey."
Somehow, I prefer the company more of Finland and Sweden to France, Greece and Turkey.
