I've always liked those Schwinn Approved freewheels, with the plastic seals.
Since you are located in New Zealand,
silferion , maybe we can connect you with a fellow C&Ver who has the appropriate removal tool. Also, your axle will need to be removed because the tool will not fit.
The Park FR-4 may fit over the locknut. Otherwise, it shouldn't be necessary to remove the entire axle to get the tool to seat; just removing the locknut is often sufficient. And the Zeus and Phil Wood freewheel tools are thinner than the Park, and may fit over the locknut.
If you can find a Zeus or Phil tool in NZ, that is…
