 According to the categorisation when it comes to voting and regional
grouping within the UN in New York, Australia and New Zealand are part of
the “Western European and Others Group” (WEOG) when it comes to voting and
regional grouping at the UN.

As is visible the different categorisations for regions and territories can
become really mixed up so am not sure which category they chose and which
regional standard they used.
