If you're willing to just have http://www.lists.ac.nz redirect to
http://www.lists.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo and still require things like
http://www.lists.ac.nz/mailman/admin to go to the admin pages, etc.,
all you need is

RedirectMatch ^[/]*$   http://www.lists.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo

If you want for example to be able to get to the admin page with a URL
like http://www.lists.ac.nz/admin, it's more complicated. Apache's
regexps for RedirectMatch may not be powerful enough to do this
easily. It may require a RewriteCond and RewriteRule.

If you want to eliminate the 'mailman/' part altogether, you'll need to
eliminate it from DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN by redefining it in mm_cfg.py
and run fix_url (bin/fix_url.py for help) on all existing lists and
put something like

ScriptAlias /       /path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/

in the apache config.
