Update: Qatar have seemingly delayed the launch of the direct flight from Doha to Auckland until Feb 01. Therefore they are not accepting booking before that date, leaving Feb 01 to April as the new date range available to book. If you already have a booking for the earlier dates you’ll be offered to route through Australia or get a full refund.
