If Stewart Island is included, the shortest distance is 2485km from South Cape on Stewart Island of New Zealand to the George V land coast of Antarctica near the Balleny Islands.

I'm not sure what this distance represents, but it is definitely not the shortest distance from New Zealand to Antarctica.
The distance from Bluff to McMurdo sound is about 3400km, but McMurdo is much further than the shortest distance which in my estimation is about 2532km from Bluff to 68.33S,155.01E. The distance from Bluff to the pole is something like 4826 km

∙ 14y agoWhen flying in government transports to McMurdo Station from Christchurch, New Zealand, the C-17 Globemaster aircraft, speced at Mach 0.76 (450 knots, 515 mph, 830 km/h) takes about five hours to make the trip.
A quick calculation therefore indicates that the distance between these two points is about 830 x 5 = 4,150 Km.

Assuming that the Earth is a sphere (?) then the distance from Equator to Pole is 10 000 km. [From the original definition of the kilometre.] So one quarter of that (Oamaru to the continent) is 2500km.
