The following URLs give you access to all of the officially supported packages in Ubuntu from the New Zealand mirrors.
* http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

+nz2 and nz appear to be in different network locations, and depending on whether your ISP has a sensible peering policy, one or other may offer much better bandwidth.
Easyubuntu and automatix scripts have an option to update your sources.list too. Use this option with caution because it quite often screws up.
There's also [Source-O-Matic|http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic] which will build you a sources list using the official, and some of the better-known unofficial repositories. This has always worked very well for me, and is a quick and easy way to get back to a working config if you let easyubuntu or automatix break it :-)
