Max enthused Here in NZ, our two major fre-to-air-broadcasters give pretty decent coverage of the outside world, probably because if they did not, they would never fill their 48 minute hours.
Being a news junkie, I take at least SOME issue with what my compatriot says above. Generally we get about half an hour of local (including Oz) news and then quarter of an hour to twenty minutes of international news, including REALLY interesting "cat up tree rescued by firemen" type topics.

To top up, I find myself watching or taping the BBC, NBC and ABC plus current affairs programmes sourced from overseas, as well as scanning the newspaper websites on the Internet.
