US controller for Oz/Nz console

[jagfnz]

I am currently travelling in the US and am about to purchase a (black!) Wii controller with Motion Plus at Best-Buy to take back down under - to Nz - as a gift for a friend. Am I likely to encounter any unanticipated problems simply using this with my Oz/Nz console?
I had a look over another thread on whether US equipment will work in OZ, but it doesn't address this particular question. Personally I can't imagine there will be any problem because it is Wii hardware "talking to" Wii hardware with Wii protocols , not anything to do with the Wii talking to a PAL or NTSC tv or about power supplies. But I'd still appreciate an answer/advice from anyone with some insight into the internal workings of the Wii.
. Thanks for any help/advice

The controllers work with any Wii regardless of region, there should not be any problems.
