The Australia-New Zealand relationship is unique in its closeness; we are partners and allies, and we share a relationship of family, of whānau.

The land has been bought by a joint venture between the government and two local rūnanga, Te Taumutu Runanga and Warewa Rūnanga, called Project Tāwhaki.

Married Chinese couples may have up to three children, China announced on Monday, in a major shift from the existing limit of two after recent data showed a dramatic decline in births in the world's most populous country.

Beijing scrapped its decades-old one-child policy in 2016, replacing it with a two-child limit to try and stave off risks to its economy from a rapidly aging population. But that failed to result in a sustained surge in births given the high cost of raising children in Chinese cities, a challenge that persists to this day.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has delivered a stern message to "those who would seek to undermine" the trans-Tasman relationship - "they will not succeed."

Morrison joined his New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern in Queenstown on Monday at a press conference which was dominated by questions addressing speculation of differences in Australia and New Zealand's approach to China.

OPINION: Emissions pricing and congestion pricing have a lot in common. The economics of both are straightforward. And the politics of both are a mess.

Like carbon charging, congestion charging simply makes sense. About 90 per cent of economists surveyed endorsed carbon and congestion charging – a decade ago. And the case for both has not got weaker with time.
