MSM is saying this:
New Zealand has broken with its “Five Eyes” intelligence partners as it pursues a closer alliance with China
New Zealand’s foreign minister said she would not allow the intelligence alliance to dictate the country’s dealings with China, putting it at odds with the other members of the ‘Five Eyes’ alliance: the UK, US, Canada and Australia.
But SkyNews Australia is reporting this as "Woke culture now becoming a national security risk" :
New Zealand is selling out Australia – and the west – to keep sweet with the genocidal Chinese dictatorship
EDIT: This just happened and is definitely connected:
Australia severs regional ‘Belt & Road’ deals with China, FM Payne says deals with Beijing inconsistent with Australia’s foreign policy

NZ is the fallback location of the Cabal. This almost sounds like they were booted from FVEY.
That's an excellent question I cannot answer. The Five Eyes (FVEY) pact has been around for decades, so the origins of the Cabal's selection of NZ as a base of operations are probably rooted in SIGINT collection.
Christ Church's proximity to Antarctica probably has a lot to do with it too.
Aside from Pine Gap....
