New Zealand’s prime minister looks to be heading back into government with a landslide win after voting closed in the country’s general election.
Exit polls are not allowed but John Key’s centre-right National Party could get an historic outright majority if surveys before the ballot are mirrored in the vote.
All of which bodes badly for Labour leader Phil Goff, hopeful to the last that his party would stage a late recovery.

Published on Nov 22, 2011 by Euronews
A frightening confirmation came recently that Iran has been working on a nuclear weapon, according to a report published by the International Atomic Energy Agency — the UN watchdog — on November 8.
It was the most detailed report so far about any military dimension of Iran’s nuclear programme. The IAEA a few days after publication underscored how serious it was.
Yukiya Amano said: “I have this information and assessment; I must alert the world. This is my duty as Director General.”

Iskander missiles, which have a range of up to 500 kilometres, may be stationed in the Kaliningrad exclave, if Washington goes ahead with a defence system whose sites would be in countries close enough to pose a threat to Russia.
NATO had been trying to broker a deal for Russia’s cooperation with the US plan, but refused Russia’s proposal to run the system jointly
Pakistan Policy got battered by Republican wannbes at Presedential canditature debate

(Reuters) – The Republican presidential hopefuls criticized U.S. policy toward Pakistan and called for placing sanctions on Iran’s central bank in a lively and substantive foreign policy debate on Tuesday.
Newt Gingrich, a former House of Representatives speaker, gave a composed performance in the first debate since he surged to the top of polls. He backed an overhaul in immigration policy that would include a guest-worker program similar to plans condemned by conservatives in the past.
The debate, the second on foreign policy in the last 10 days, featured sharp exchanges on a broad range of issues, including anti-terrorism laws, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The Republicans ganged up on Pakistan and questioned whether the United States could trust it. Texas Governor Rick Perry called Pakistan unworthy of U.S. aid because it had not done enough to help fight al Qaeda.
“To write a check to countries that are clearly not representing American interests is nonsensical,” said Perry, who has faded in polls after recent debate stumbles but had a stronger performance on Tuesday.
Representative Michele Bachmann, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, called Perry “highly naive” and said the United States should demand more from a “violent and unstable” Pakistan with nuclear weapons.
She called it “a nation that lies, that does everything possible that you could imagine wrong. At the same time they do share intelligence data with us regarding al Qaeda.”
