Good idea.    The confusion gets bad when a ticker on one side of the 
tasman represents a completely different share on the other side.  The 
other one that always gets me is INL, which is of course 'Independent 
News' on this side off the ditch.    Clarification is probably not quite so 
critical if the code is unique in Australia and New Zealand.

Since this is a New Zealand forum, can I suggest we assume that if a 
share ticker letter code is quoted, that code represents a New Zealand 
share unless further qualified.    Otherwise something like 

MHI (ASX)

or what Gavin quoted above should do the trick.
