Probably in the distant past. >150Ma. It is only recently that this part of NZ's history has been more or less resolved. NZ was formed from an island arc on one side and a granite landmass on the other. This is known from mineralogical studies of the sediment from which the rocks were derived.
At some time, a land link may have existed via New Caledonia. The unresolved questions are when did the beech forests arrive (from Gondwanna); when did the moa, a relative of the emu and ostrich arrive, and similarly for the land lizards and skinks.
So offshore Queensland is one popular suggestion.

Is new zealand part of the continent of australia?
No. New Zealand is a separate nation and consists of two islands but is not a continent in itself. Now the question is: Does New Zealand belong to the continent of Australia and if not, which continent does it belong to ? No, New Zealand is not on the same continental shelf as Australia and so is not part of the continent of Australia but is part of the submerged continent Zealandia and the wider region known as Oceania or Australasia.

Is New Zealand the one that made the word pavlova?
The dessert Pavlova was named after a Russian Ballet dancer Anna Pavlova who visited Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. There is confusion and argument over whether the dessert is originally from Australia or New Zealand. It was a tradition to name desserts after famous opera or ballet stars. A version of the dessert was named after Anna Pavlova in both Wellington NZ, Perth Australia and Melbourne Australia but desserts made from Meringue filled with fruit and cream were around for a long time in both countries (and elsewhere) before that. So it is unlikely that there will ever be a proven answer to this question.
