== History ==
In 2003, Dionysios was promoted to the Metropolis of Proussa, promoting Joseph to be the second metropolitan of New Zealand. In 2004, the decision was made to seperate the exarchate of Korea from New Zealand and to make it a metropolis of its own, leaving Metropolitan Joseph the hierarch of New Zealand alone.

== Recent History ==
In recent years, there has been great tension between the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia]] and the current Ecumenical Patriarch, [[Bartholomew I (Archontonis) of Constantinople|Bartholomew I]] concerning the elevation of one of the auxillary bishops of Australia, [[Joseph (Harkiolakis) of New Zealand|Joseph]], to the metropolis of New Zealand. While some letters were exchanged and published through the Archdiocese-owned Greek newspaper, To Vema, the elevation of Metropolitan Joseph remains in effect and unchanged.
