The results of the New Zealand General Election of 14 October 2023 are in.  The incumbent Labour government was resoundingly defeated by the centre-right National Party.  National will be able to form a two-party coalition with another party to its right, ACT.  What does this mean for NZ's foreign policy, defense, and strategic policies?  The Middle East is grabbing headline news again with the Israeli-Hamas conflict.  What does it mean for the Indo-Pacific region?
