New Zealand

New Zealand currently holds a WokeMeter assessment score of 63, placing it at the 11th position globally with a percentile rank of 94.1. This score reflects a high level of policy signalling intensity, consistent with Western-style progressive policies. The continuity in recent trends, such as the legacy of Jacinda Ardern's leadership, same-sex marriage legalization, and robust LGBTQ protections, underpins this assessment. These factors align with comprehensive institutional DEI policies and a balanced approach to media and platform moderation. The uniformity across the dimension scores suggests that New Zealand maintains a consistent level of signalling intensity across multiple policy areas without significant recent fluctuations or external events impacting this balance.

The dimension scores, all registering at 63, demonstrate that New Zealand exhibits uniform policy signalling across various domains, including speech and expression climate, institutional DEI policies, and education and curriculum signalling. This indicates a steady approach without any single dimension dominating the signalling landscape. The consistent scores across media moderation, legislative activism, and corporate/investor signalling further reflect an integrated policy approach. The balance in these scores suggests a stable regulatory environment, contributing to the country's overall high signalling intensity. New Zealand's ranking and scoring are indicative of its alignment with typical Western democratic policies, maintaining a high yet stable signalling presence across its social policy dimensions.
