New Zealand is not in a continent: it is an island country.

Australia is a nation and a continent, but the continent of Australia does not incorporate New Zealand. New Zealand is part of the mostly submerged continent Zealandia, which is not commonly recognised as one of the continents of the world, precisely because it is submerged. The continent of Australia is a recognised continent.

The region including Australia and New Zealand is sometimes referred to as "Oceania", but Oceania is geographically and politically not a continent.
