What venomous creatures live in New Zealand?

I am thinking of emigrating to New Zealand for many reasons such as how damn beautiful the place is, but I have fount out that New Zealand has the same giant centipede as Australia. I thought New Zealand had no venomous animals? That's the impression you always get when the place is on travel shows.
Answer
New Zealand has no harmful animals like poisonous snakes, scorpions or venomous insects, so its sole poisonous native spider â the rare katipÅ â has almost mythical status. Since the late 19th century there have been accidental introductions of the poisonous redback and white-tailed spiders from Australia.
KatipÅ
MÄori knew of a poisonous spider that lived on or near some of the warmer North Island beaches. They called it the katipÅ, which means ânight-stingerâ. The scientific name is Latrodectus katipo.
Only the adult female katipÅ bites. A fully-grown female is about the size of a garden pea. It is black, with a bright red stripe on its back.
KatipÅ are naturally shy, and would probably only bite if accidentally squashed. Few New Zealanders have ever seen one, let alone been bitten. Despite their reputation, there is no solid evidence that anyone has died from a katipÅ bite in the last 100 years.
A closely related spider, the so-called black katipÅ (Latrodectus atritus), lives in sand dunes further back from the beach, in the northern North Island. Lacking the red stripe, it is a similar but distinct species that is not poisonous.
KatipŠspiders are now classified as a threatened species. It is illegal to collect or deliberately kill them. The decline is probably because of changes in the beach habitat, especially the replacement of native pīngao with marram grass.
Redback spider
In recent years small numbers of the Australian redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti) have been recorded in different parts of New Zealand. Because it prefers dry sheltered places, it is often found in outbuildings. There appear to be only small, localised populations, and because the climate is cooler and damper than that of Australia, it is unlikely to increase greatly.
White-tailed spider
Two species of the Australian white-tailed spider, Lampona cyclindrata and Lampona murina, have been recorded in New Zealand, and appear to have been present for at least 100 years. Both live in cracks and crevices, sometimes on the outside of houses.
The bite of the white-tailed spider is not poisonous to humans. There has been considerable publicity about serious skin infections, called necrotic lesions, that may develop near bites. In a recent Australian study of 130 confirmed white-tailed spider bites, 75% of people said the bite was less painful than a bee sting, and nobody developed lesions.
