Rising conservatism in NZ?

Interesting story on Stuff reports that NZ may be becoming more conservative. Similar studies in the US and Australia suggest the current generation of university students are also more conservative than their recent predecessors.

The political implications of this will be interesting. Will it boost R-O-C parties, or will it push L-O-C rightwards in their policies, effectively moving the political centre?
