While not certain my best guess is that LibO is looking for the specific
dictionary.

With a documtnet open in LibO 3.3.2 checking
'Options'-'Language'-'Additional dictionaries online' [I'm translating
freely as I run LibO in French] - the link leads me to
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:OpenOfficeExtensions/List?lang=fr
(yours would, no doubt, lead you to the English language page, which
probably is no different as the French page is in English).

In any event, there you will find a "New Zealand English dictionary and
thesaurus" which you can download and install. 

N.B., I'm running LibreOffice 3.3.2 OOO330m19 (Build:202)tag
libreoffice-3.3.2.2, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 .

I spell check my English documents in Canadian English but suspect LibO
is just using the 'normal' British English dictionary.
