3 years ago came here to report a similar (the same?) problem... nothing west of 180 showing up and including minlon/maxlon with rectangle searches seem to produce jarbled server responses.
from obspy import UTCDatetime
from obspy.clients.fdsn import Client
geonet = Client('GEONET')
t = UTCDateTime(2021,3,10)
#try to grab something reasonable
cat = geonet.get_events(starttime=t,endtime=t+10*86400,minmagnitude=3,minlat=-50,maxlat=-45,minlon=-190,maxlon=-180)
FDSNBadRequestException: Bad request. If you think your request was valid please contact the developers. HTTP Status code: 400 Detailed response of server:
JJLQ(J-,M-.RK,)MIUQ503R543@</
(strange response! same thing if I use minlongitude maxlongitude spelled out)
#or try radius search
cat = geonet.get_events(starttime=t,endtime=t+10*86400,minmagnitude=3,latitude=-41,longitude=-179,maxradius=10)returns events, but none west of -180 lon which is hard to believe. similar results when lon = +179

The fdsn event search doesn't allow for a region defined with a radius to cross the 180 longitude. For example a search centred around -37.0,179.4 and a radius of 1.5 only returns earthquakes West of 180 degrees of longitude:
