On October 12, 1996, New Zealand held its first election under the new electoral system, MMP.
It was one of the most significant developments in the history of electoral reform in this country; one designed to address the inequity of a First Past the Post system that could allow the party with the most votes to lose an election.

The world is watching the 2021 Canadian federal election with some interest, owing to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s international celebrity status. However, the media have overlooked one aspect of the election. A Conservative Party victory would not just spell the end of the Trudeau administration, but would also bring to the fore a previously obscure policy proposal that the Conservative Party has made in its foreign policy platform. This is the dream of CANZUK, a union of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the U.K. This would be both a radical shift in Canada’s foreign policy and also potentially in Canada’s defence policy.

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
What a poorly written and researched article.
If the Conservative Party wins, three of four CANZUK nations would have pro-CANZUK governments in office: Canada, Australia and the U.K. That would just leave New Zealand under the Jacinda Ardern administration, and pro-CANZUK politicians have said they expect New Zealand to follow Australia into a CANZUK agreement if the other three nations finalize it.
I don't even think Australia has a policy on CANZUK, and even if they do saying New Zealand would just follow is a bit of a stretch.
Sure there are various MP's and have considered the idea but no party in NZ or Australia has a CANZUK policy. Only the Conservative Party of Canada and their leader Erin O’Toole has one as part of their party policy.

Mohammad Murad spent a decade working at a New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) base in Bamyan. Ten days ago he was shot and killed in his village bazaar by the Taliban likely because of that work.
The 48-year-old had worked as a guard at the New Zealand-run forward operating base Romero in Kahmard, Bamyan from early in the 2000s for more than 10 years, said Parwiz Hakimi, an interpreter for the NZDF in Bamyan during much of that time. Hakimi, who now lives in New Zealand, heard from Murad’s family that 10 days ago he had been assassinated by the Taliban.
