A fellow Kiwi, sweet! Incidentally, I do have an electrical engineering degree. I didn't major in software in my degree, but I have in my job (I like programming more than circuit design, I guess :-). Still, it seems to me the term "software engineer" is used pretty loosely these days -- many "software engineers" have computer science degrees.
