There's no way to bulk-edit from the GUI, but you can try editing your data file. Figure out the timezone offset between your current TZ and New Zealand. Supposing that you're in the UK it would be 11 hours: British Summer Time is +1 and New Zealand Standard time is +12. All of the posted dates that you created in New Zealand will have a date-time that looks like 2016-0m-xx 13:00:00. You need to create an edit rule that changes that to 2016-0n-yy 00:00:00, where n and yy represent the day after m and xx.

If you're willing to change the timezone on the computer back to New Zealand long enough to open and re-save the file, it will be easier: In that case just search and replace +1200 to whatever is your offset and save. Change the timezone back and open it in GnuCash and everything should be OK.

Be sure to save the file as plain text, ideally in UTF-8. Make a backup first!

The GnuCash release schedule is http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Release_Schedule.

Thanks for pointing out the scheduled transaction scheduled dates. Those should clearly get the same treatment.
