There's a bit of debate whether B V.D. Broek is actually eligible - Could apply to Phil too.

Well there should be no debate. Their mum gained NZ citizenship (she even served in the NZ army) before both of them were born. Under NZ citizenship law, they are both NZ citizens at birth. So even though they've never lived in NZ or have parents/grandparents born in NZ they're eligible.

ie they don't have to satisfy Article 7 as they don't need to acquire NZ nationality - they have always been NZers from birth.
