It turns out that these days in the UK if I new bike isn't fitted with a kill switch on the side stand then the side stand has to be self retracting. Maybe it's the same for you in NZ.

Spud has provided the link to my post of how I solved the problem,

but before you dig out the angle grinder to cut the bolt, try just turning the bolt around and the kidney shape metal tab that the springs are attached to.
This should do the trick

I cut my side stand bolt in a fit of anger straight after I dropped my bike because of the pesky side stand retracting
