hey whats wrong with our accents its not THAT difficult to understand, is it? new zealanders sound more like South Africans anyway.
if you want to understand australian and new zealand english, you could try watching all the typical australian movies with english subtitles on, so as to compare pronounciation with the corresponding subtitles on screen. Good movies would be:
Crackerjack
Crackers
The Castle
Crocodile Dundee
TV shows:
The Chaser's War
The Glasshouse
Neighbours
If you want to know some more Tv shows, go to yahoo.com.au and look up the TV Guide, it will tell you which shows are currently being aired on australian Tv, but beware, some of it is american....

The americans and canadians that I know all like what we think of as an australian accent. Not sure I could tell the difference between aussie and new zealand though.

If you want to indulge in some Kiwi accent, get these movies:
Whale Rider
Out of the Blue
The World's Fastest Indian

There's not necessarily any specific thing you should listen to. Just listen to it more. You'll get used to it pretty soon.
