What country proposed the winter olympic games?
That really wasn't proposed by a country. An Italian count named Eugenio Brunetta d'Usseaux suggested that the International Olympic Committee hold winter events as part of the 1912 Games in Stockholm. This was not done, but the idea was brought up again and it was decided to hold winter events at the 1916 Games in Berlin. Those games were cancelled due to World War I. It wasn't until 1924 that winter events made their debut in the Olympics as part of the Summer Games. They were such a huge success that the International Olympic Committee decided to hold a separate Winter Olympics every four years and designated the events held in 1924 as the first Winter Olympics.
Who would be responsible for the Olympics being held in New Zealand?
The city that wanted to host the Games and the National Olympic Committee of New Zealand would be responsible. A formal proposal would be made by the city through the New Zealand National Olympic Committee to the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The IOC would send a questionnaire to the city that wanted to host the Olympics. The questions would be about the city's motivation for hosting the Olympics, existing venues to host Olympic events, what venues would need to be built to host Olympic events, existing police, hotels, and transportation and if the city had enough of these to host an Olympics or would they need more police, hotels, and transportation. The answers to these questionnaires are reviewed by the IOC to determine whether the city has the resources, and can create the resources they don't have, to host the Olympics. The IOC will select five cities and these cities will be in contention to host the Games.

Possible candidates include Natalie Cook OAM (Beach Volleyball), Cadel Evans (Cycling), Drew Ginn OAM (Rowing), Leisel Jones OAM (Swimming), Russell Mark OAM (Shooting) and Sally Pearson (Athletics).
