      Ahh, no. NZ is not part of continental Oz. Australasia is commonly used to group Oz and NZ (and sometimes other countries). Apart from mutually taking the piss out of each other there is little logical reason to group the two separated land masses.

    yeah, but it's 7 PM tomorrow, so it doesn't count.

    As a New Zealander I would like to say that I am speaking to you from the future. I will make a prediction,

    *holds-fortune-card-to-forehead*

    Americans, tomorrow you will still not have a decent health care system and for some reason you're going to have Leno rather than Conan O'Brien.

    All these things will come true. Hang your heads in shame, North America.
