We will be traveling from Atlanta, GA to Christchurch, NZ via LAX and Brisbane via Delta Airlines and Virgin Australia. I assume we will need to clear immigration. Do we need to obtain our luggage and recheck or will the luggage go direct to the connecting flight to Christchurch? How much time will we need to make the connection?

Since you've bought a single ticket your luggage would be checked all the way to New Zealand. On the way back however you will have to pick up and re-check your luggage at LAX (as well as go through immigration) as the US doesn't allow seamless transit without presenting both yourself and your luggage to US immigration/customs.
