Very differently from most Australians
I can't explain our "accent" (heck, I don't find we have one, I mean I've only been brought up with NZ accents) But it's kind of straight forward, you know there's no rolling of toungs (so to speak) and whiny pitches in our tones, if you know what I mean? Our accent is very soft

Cape Reinga, to the fiords in the south.
Harbour lights in the City of Sails
Aroha, the love that never fails
See the bird with the leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out.'
