I think some of what you say is correct eg the necessity for NZ to be genuinely diplomatic because of it's size and position. But as important is it's honesty. The recently released gender equity report by the World Economic Forum places NZ in the top 5. Australia is 20. NZ also has genuine discourse with the original inhabitants, the Maori population. NZ practices what it preaches. Australia has a long way to go and a lot to learn about leadership. NZ is infinitely more capable in many ways than Australia.

While the Waitangi Treaty remains a contentious issue for many Maori people - there can be no doubt that Maori culture is ubiquitous and a part of everyday life and that is something to be celebrated. Australia can definitely learn something from NZ in this respect.

I agree that Pacific/Asian nations lack the amount of trust in Australia that they do for NZ and this may be partly the reason that PM Rudd's free trade scheme has failed to get off the ground.
