I would recommend getting a good basic tanked aircompressor and a cheap airbrush to start with. Practice with this airbrush - a good proportion of people destroy their first airbrush, so it's a good way to learn and only lose $10 rather than $100. After you're comfortable with this, get yourself a good Badger or Iwata. I love my Badger Krome, and the learning how to take care of my cheapie has kept it in tip top shape, with my cheapie now being used for varnishing which I want to keep away from my good one.

Off hand, this starter set looks like decent value. It's the same compressor I use - which is a great little tanked compressor with minimal noise, moisture trap etc - and comes with hose, airbrush etc. You coudl probably find better deals if you look further. Not sure if you'd be best getting something in NZ or importing from Aus. I bought my compressor and each other part standaline. this compressor is the same I use, and seems a decent price. Note that it's barebones, so you'll even need to order a hose (like I had to). I bought everything iirc from this seller who had decent prices including postage for Australia.
