What is New Zealand considered in Australia?

Answer 1

No: both Australia and New Zealand are self-contained, self-governing independent countries. However, both are countries within the general area known as "Australasia", which is neither a continent nor a country.

Answer 2

No. Their national flags are similar but they are completely separate countries. Australia is the only place in the world which is both a country and a complete continent, and New Zealand is not part of any continent.

New Zealand and Australia are separated by the Tasman Sea. New Zealand is sometimes referred to as part of Australasia, or Oceania, neither of which are continents, but a geographic or regional groups of countries. It is on the tectonic or continental plate of Zealandia, which is mostly under the ocean.

New Zealand is an independent country with its own history and culture. At no time in history has New Zealand ever been a part of Australia, even though New South Wales laws and jurisdiction applied to New Zealand briefly in 1840 when Britain annexed New Zealand.

New Zealand is a sovereign nation. Both Australia and New Zealand were former British colonies, but both countries became independent members of the British Commonwealth individually: Australia in 1901 and New Zealand in 1907. It is worth noting that the Constitution of Australia originally left the way open for New Zealand and other countries to join the Commonwealth of Australia.

Answer 3

No, New Zealand is not a part of Australia. I know this because New Zealand wouldn't have a capital if it were part of Australia. though, New Zealand is part of Oceania, which, includes Australia, and many other islands far and near between them.

New Zealand and Australia are different countries and are separated by the Tasman Sea.

Answer 4

No, it is not even on the same continent. New Zealand and Australia are both independent self-governing countries, and members of the Commonwealth of Nations.

New Zealand's islands lie on a submerged continent called Zealandia, about the size and shape of the Indian sub-continent.

Answer 5

As best we presently understand it, New Zealand was never part of the Australian Continental landmass.

New Zealand probably formed in an oceanic trench, between a granite landmass (possibly Queensland), and a volcanic arc.

Eventually, these sediments consolidated and dried out, and gradually rose above the waves. At later times, this new land was connected to S America, and fleetingly to New Caledonia, and perhaps even directly to Australia, but only for short periods of time.

These connections explain the flora and fauna. near Kawhia Harbour, are conglomerates of granite boulders, derived from some distant shore. And lesser amounts at other places as well.

Answer 6

In Australia we consider New Zealand to be Another Country.

Answer 7

Assuming this is a geography question, rather than philosophic, New Zealand lies less than 2000 km SE from Australia.

Answer 8

New Zealand is found to the East of Australia, and is about 2000km (a 2-3hr flight from Melbourne/Sydney).

Answer 9

New Zealand is practically a dominion under the authority of United Kingdom, which hasn't the courage to declare independence.
