Great, if you intend to never correspond with 202/8, 203/8 and 210/8 you
just nuked most of New Zealand and a lot of Australia at the same time.
You might find that being a _tad_ more specific is useful. Believe it or
not, theres a lot of legit business conducted between Australasia and the
rest of the world...

(Who has historically had a LOT of trouble convincing some providers that
denying comms with New Zealand is a good way to get a whole nation up in
arms, especially if you're a big name telco in the US who is dropping IP
from a big name telco here...)
