yeah, they surely would have big big budgets and are clearly very authorative as they totally dominate any property search with australia in it. I would just like to know a little more on how the algo works in this case.

I have got a site targeted for a New Zealand audience. The site is about property in Australia. The SERP for the keyword "real estate australia" is dominated by .com.au domains which are obviously set for Australia.

Does google give .co.nz domains priority in the SERPs for New Zealand or are .com.au and .co.nz domains treated evenly for New Zealand based searches?

Would a .co.nz domain have higher priority in this SERP?
