That’s weird. I remember right at the launch it was like that. Must have been a technical problem. I like the watermark being opaque, looks much nicer.

…if they dialled down the pink a tad. It’s rather hard to read clashing colours.

Whakaata Māori will again provide exclusive polling of the Māori seats leading up to next month’s general election.
WHAKATAU 2023: KEI A KOE TE WHAKATAU – IT’S UP TO YOU will release polls during the seven Māori electorate debates which begin from 19 September.

Throughout, the Whakaata Māori Te Ao Māori newsroom will continue to test the pulse of voters before they hit the polling booths.

14 months after the supposed finale, Neighbours returns to New Zealand. The soap will be shown on TVNZ 2 at 5.30pm Tuesdays to Fridays from Tuesday, September 19, with each episode shown one day after Australia. The episodes will be available to Amazon Prime subscribers one week after TVNZ broadcast.
The Neighbours theme will be performed by Chris Sebastian, winner of The Voice Australia in 2020.
This is the latest Australian promo

So even NZ get it before Australia too.
2 countries airing it first before it’s own is just silly.
Wdym? It’s not a 10 production.
The show is set in australia and created each week by Australians but its not an Australian show anymore

Um, it Neighbours revival has gone back being an Australian show by the looks of it. Surprised it has returned to the younger TVNZ 2 channel rather than older TVNZ 1 channel leading to The Chase replacing re-runs of Mike and Molly. Neighbours would be nothing important to TVNZ 2.
When Neighbours returns to TVNZ it will only be shown four days a week, i.e. Tuesday to Friday, instead of five.
New episodes will be less than 24 hours after their original Australian broadcasts (4.30pm AEST = 6.30pm NZT) and shown on TVNZ 2 at 5.30pm from 19 September, according to the updated ratecard for both TVNZ 1 & 2.

How is Neighbours not an Australian show?
Ill take it back, dont want to confuse people so will just say it is an Australian show to please 
Well Factually your statement was incorrect.
It’s commissioned by Amazon which is a global company but by any way one could classify a show’s country of origin- Neighbours is Australian
