About our New Zealand news

Latest current affairs news on New Zealand, with updates on politics, economy, social issues, international relations and much more from trusted sources.

New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country consists of two main landmasses—the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and the South Island (Te Waipounamu)—and around 700 smaller islands. New Zealand is renowned for its diverse landscapes, ranging from the fiord-like sounds of the southern-west to the sandy beaches of the subtropical Far North. The South Island is largely dominated by the Southern Alps while a volcanic plateau covers much of the North Island. New Zealand's capital is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.
