Sure - why not, there's only a sea between us that you can fit an area the size of California to Nebraska into ... pretty close really.

Allow it as part of the australian continent, despite the water. The alternative is to not recognize it as part of any continent. Just like how California and Nebraska are part of the same continent despite, what, three deserts and two mountain ranges between them.

Did I mention that any definition of continents is arbitrary?

Are you saying NZ is its own continent? Or that the continent should be referred to as Oceania?
