The New Zealand Transport Agency has discovered and revoked 440 fake commercial driver licensees.

NZTA said they discovered false or altered documentation that converted overseas licences to New Zealand licences.

The discovery was made in an audit during the “conversion process” in July 2025.

“We have systems in place to identify, investigate and respond to suspected fraudulent activity and we will act swiftly when we find it by holding people to account,” deputy director of land transport Mike Hargreaves said.

NZTA is in the process of contacting the individuals involved.

Providing false or misleading information as part of driver licence application is an offence under the Land Transport Act 1998, punishable by an infringement fine of up to $750.

Te Pāti Māori purge fails to end the party war

Analysis: As the Iwi Chairs Forum fought fruitlessly to keep Te Pāti Māori together last week, spokesperson Bayden Barber offered a warning: a split tōtara is only good for the fire.

Now Te Pāti Māori finds itself in an inferno.

The slow-burn conflagration has been smouldering for so long, it’s easy to miss the magnitude. But this is no small matter.

This is a party ousting a third of its caucus, citing “irreconcilable differences” and “serious breaches” of its constitution.

Fronting reporters on Monday morning, co-leaders Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi wished their former colleagues “all the best of luck” and waved them on their way.

“We had to bring this to a close, and we must move on.”

But that seems overly hopeful. Both Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris were quick to declare the move “unconstitutional” and are threatening to challenge it “in all respects”.

The party’s National Council has also yet to consider whether to invoke the waka-jumping provision and eject the MPs from Parliament altogether.

That would require agreement of the two other remaining MPs – Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke and Oriini Kaipara. It’s unclear yet where they stand in all this.

Either outcome is ugly. If the “rogue” MPs remain, they will serve as a constant reminder of division. If they’re booted, two by-elections loom, sure to be bitter and bruising.

At least a public contest might shed more clarity on what’s behind the weeks of infighting, with voters so far largely left in a cloud of smoke.

Asked to clarify on Monday exactly what the MPs had done to deserve expulsion, the co-leaders refused: “You’re not going to get that detail here in this press conference.”

From what has dripped out over the past six weeks, it seems the feud is driven more by personality than principle.

Party president John Tamihere has accused the two MPs of plotting a failed coup. Kapa-Kingi and Ferris have declared no confidence in Tamihere, with their supporters decrying toxic dictatorial leadership.

Supporters are right to feel aggrieved. A year ago, Te Pāti Māori was riding a wave of unity and purpose, as a driving force behind the historic Toitū Te Tiriti hikoi.

It boasted its largest-ever caucus, having swept six of the seven Māori electorates in a dominant 2023 result.

Ironically, the roots of the recent crisis lie in that rapid expansion.

The co-leaders went from being a dynamic duo to overseeing a more assertive caucus and competing egos.

Tamihere, Ngarewa-Packer and Waititi are all dominant personalities, used to steering their own course.

But both Kapa-Kingi and Ferris regard themselves as electorate MPs first, answerable to their own people, not to the central hierarchy.

Add in the whānau ties on either side, and the conflict shifts from political to personal.

The co-leaders admit the recent disunity has damaged the party’s brand. The enthusiasm of a year ago has turned to disillusionment, with voters now forced to pick sides or to look elsewhere.

When Hone Harawira split from the Māori Party in 2011 to form Mana, both sides eventually vanished. Harawira was sent packing by voters in 2014, and the rest of the Māori Party followed in 2017.

For the wider opposition, there is good and bad here.

The Labour Party will see an opportunity to win over those disenchanted voters and to retake the Māori electorates amidst a more divided race.

But the wider picture is riskier. Centrist voters may well look at the turmoil on the left and decide to stick with the status quo.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins has yet to publicly declare whether he would welcome Te Pāti Māori as part of a future Cabinet.

Those questions will only grow louder now – expanding to include the “rogues”. Where do they stand in any coalition calculation?

The Iwi Chairs Forum had arranged “peace talks” this week, bringing together the two factions at a Wellington marae.

Bayden Barber still thinks that would be beneficial and the co-leaders agree it could still go ahead. But few expect much to come of it now.

The next moment of reckoning may come on 7 December, when members gather in Rotorua for the party’s AGM – and confront how Te Pāti Māori can piece itself together from the ashes.

Smoke warning as Tongariro fire grows

Firefighters continue to battle the Tongariro National Park wildfire. Fire and Emergency

People living near the Tongariro National Park fire are being warned to take extra precautions to protect themselves, young children and the elderly from smoke.

The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation said residents should close windows and doors if staying inside, and wear a properly fitted N95 or KN95 masks outdoors.

Its chief executive Letitia Harding said bush fire smoke contained “tiny particles” which could irritate the lungs and airways.

That could be particularly risky for children, older people and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions.

“For people with asthma, COPD or other lung conditions, smoke exposure can trigger flare-ups, which in serious cases may require hospitalisation,” she said.

“It’s important to limit exposure and keep medications like reliever inhalers on hand.”

Meanwhile, those travelling in the area should keep car windows closed and set the ventilation system to recirculate air.

Everyone in the wider region should stay informed about smoke conditions, plan activities carefully and take practical steps to protect their lungs, Harding said.

New Zealand Trotting Cup – all you need to know

Partying racegoers at the New Zealand Trotting Cup meeting at Addington in Christchurch will get to see the best pacer in Australasia, the champion Leap to Fame, in action on Tuesday.

New Zealand Cup day is one of the big events on the Canterbury social calendar and the Cup, with a purse of $1 million, is also one of New Zealand racing’s pinnacle events.

Leap To Fame has dominated the pre-race discussion and the betting. On Monday he was a $1.60 favourite on the NZ TAB to win the big race.

Trained and driven by Queenslander Grant Dixon, Leap To Fame is hailed as a harness superstar, with 58 wins from 73 starts and earnings of just a tick over $5 million, an amount far in advance of any of his rivals on Tuesday. One of those wins was in his only start in New Zealand, when he won the $1 million The race by betcha, in Cambridge in April, in a track record.

Leap To Fame is also out to continue Australian and his own family’s dominance of the race in recent years. His half-brother Swayzee proved too good for his Kiwi opponents in the Cup in 2023 and did so again last year.

Swayzee suffered a setback in his preparation for this year’s Cup so isn’t running.

But another Aussie rising star, Kingman, has been a late entry after beating Leap To Fame in the Victoria Cup last month and is considered one of the main challengers.

The Kiwi challengers in the Cup

Republican Party looms as the biggest Kiwi threat to Leap To Fame.

Trained by Cran and Chrissie Dalgety in Canterbury and driven by their son Carter, Republican Party would be a popular winner. Cran Dalgety has had two seconds and three thirds in previous Cups and has joked he has served a 35-year apprenticeship for Tuesday’s Cup.

Republican Party can also surpass $1 million in stakemoney if he runs a top four placing, while Auckland pacer Merlin, who has won $1.6m, looked primed when he won the Kaikoura Cup last week.

Akuta, Don’t Stop Dreaming and We Walk By Faith are also rated solid chances.

Aussies to the fore in Dominion Trot

There are three other Group 1 races on the card, including $400,000 Dominion Trot.

Once again, the Australians have a strong hand, with mare Jilliby Ballerini the favourite and Gus and Arcee Phoenix also chances. The main Kiwi hopes in the betting are Oscar Bonavena, Muscle Mountain, Bet N Win and Mr Love.

The two other Group 1s are for three-year-olds. Race 8 is for the colts and geldings and race 9 is for fillies. Both races are over 1980m for stakes of $200,000.

World Driving Championship decided

The race meeting will also feature the final heat of the World Driving Championship, featuring 10 of the best drivers from around the globe. They have been competing around the country for the past 10 days.

Canadian James McDonald leads the series from Australian Gary Hall Junior, with New Zealand rep Blair Orange in fourth place.

The 20th heat in the series, race 3 at 12.54pm, will determine the winner.

Off the race track, but no less competitive, is the annual fashion competition, with three different categories this year – best dressed, best suited and “something blue”. The winner will be announced after race 6 at 2.30pm.

There will be ongoing entertainment at The Infield, on the grass at the centre of the track. Shapeshifter will be playing there after the race meeting finishes.

Cup day will be followed by the Show Day meeting on Friday. It features two $500,000 slot races for three-year-olds and four other Group 1 races.

Two Kiwi perfume rebels invite you on a ‘Journey of Scent’

Source: Radio New Zealand

Self-taught scent artist Nathan Taare and French-trained perfume afficionado Whitney Steel deliver a fresh take on the fragrance world in the new RNZ series Journey of Scent.

While making the show was really fun, Steel says, it was a”nail-biting” moment presenting guests with their personalised perfumes, especially star chef Kia Kanuta.

“Because he has such a refined palate, I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to get exposed … I really, really wanted him to love it,” she tells RNZ’s Afternoons.

This video is hosted on Youtube.

Whitney Steel (@perfumedwhitney) breaks down the perfume industry and reviews fragrances on social media.

“Many people don’t know how to describe what they love in a scent, so I really, really try hard to make it accessible and use everyday language that people understand.”

She first fell in love with scent through testers her mum brought home from the fragrance distribution company she worked for in the 90s.

In 2019, she studied at a perfume school in France, later launching a home fragrance business in Melbourne.

“Then I started talking about perfume on TikTok, and we’ve kind of just gone from there.”

The power of scent to change how a person feels has always been compelling to Steel.

“I always wear really powerful perfumes when I want to feel confident… I used to use it in job interviews a lot.”

Although the cost of perfume ingredients has skyrocketed since Covid., making fragrance more expensive, Steel says, scent is still trending hard in the beauty industry.

“When you go into any store, whether it’s Farmers, Mecca, Sephora, it’s fragrance [that is dominating] nowadays.”

Self-taught scent artist Nathan Taare is the founder of the OF BODY perfume house and the creator of ‘Road’ – a Karangahape Road-inspired fragrance that made the news in 2023.

With a background in sound and art, Taare changed course when he discovered this amazing world of “scent materials”.

“I just brought them into my life and just sort of chucked them into a space where I would have normally had instruments and paints.”

In some of the Journey of Scent creations Taare uses manuka oil and he says many other native New Zealand botanicals are still “pretty untapped” as fragrance additions.

“We also have some of the world’s best ambergris [a whale secretion used as a perfume fixative] washing up on the shores.

“If we got into our native woods and all of that kind of thing, it would be a pretty amazing thing.”

Taare isn’t always drawn to wearing scents on his body, but likes to have them around to evoke feelings.

“If it’s joy or if it takes you to another place, that’s where scent is for me.”

For true fragrance-lovers, personalised scents are where it’s at, Taare says.

“I feel like everyone should have a bespoke.”

Kia Kanuta, Troy Kingi, Dr Anaha Hiini, Ana Scotney, Te Rongo Kirkwood and Tayi Tibble appear in Journey of Scent, which launches on rnz.co.nz/video at 3pm on Monday 10 November.

Weather: Warm start to the week, but more rain expected after Wednesday

New Zealand’s temperatures are getting into summer territory, but a low pressure system is expected to bring rain to many areas of the country later this week.

Maximum temperatures were expected to rise above 20°C in many areas today, with Napier forecast to reach 29°C – nearly 10°C higher than the average November maximum – and Hastings predicted to hit 31°C today.

Tuesday’s weather should also be fine for Cup Day in Christchurch, with clear skies expected over Canterbury.

But wet weather was expected to start moving down the country on Wednesday, with a low pressure system over the north Tasman Sea due to move southwards onto the North Island.

MetService said that was likely to bring warning amounts of rain in Northland, Auckland Coromandel Peninsula, and Bay of Plenty on Wednesday.

There could also be downpours in Waikato, Taupo, northern Gisborne/Tairawhiti, and Taranaki Maunga, and MetService said northeast winds could reach severe gale strength in exposed places of Northland and Auckland.

By Thursday, the low pressure system is expected to move southeastwards over northern and central New Zealand, bringing rain to many areas, including Bay of Plenty, Taupo, Gisborne/Tairawhiti north of Gisborne City, Taranaki Maunga, Tasman District west of Motueka, and the northern and eastern ranges of Marlborough.

The low pressure system should moves to the east of the county by Friday, with a front over the Tasman Sea then moving quickly over southern and central New Zealand.

The forecast for the weekend is looking clearer, with a ridge of high pressure following the front onto New Zealand.

A wall of smoke from the Tongariro National Park fire is providing a spectacular but worrying vista for a central plateau village.

The blaze has burned through up to 2500 hectares and is 20 percent contained.

Whakapapa Village was evacuated on Sunday, and the fire has forced the evacuation of trampers and closed lodges. All tracks and huts within the Tongariro National Park are closed, and State Highway 48 leading to Whakapapa Village and State Highway 47 at the intersection with State Highway 4 at Waimarino are also closed.

Basketball: Bigs back for Tall Blacks’ qualifiers against Boomers

Source: Radio New Zealand

The Tall Blacks’ path to the 2027 FIBA World Cup begins against familiar foes.

At the end of the month the Tall Blacks will resume their storied rivalry with the Australian Boomers in a home-away series of two World Cup qualifiers.

Coach Judd Flavell has turned to three bigs – centre Yanni Wetzell, centre Tyrell Harrison and forward Sam Mennenga – who will all pull on the black singlet for the first time in 2025, to bolster the roster.

“Two world-class centres at the top of their game, and both big pieces overall,” Flavell said.

“Not just in want we do on the court, but I also like those two (Harrison and Wetzell) and the characteristics they have as people as well, they’re going to add a lot to the culture of the Tall Blacks as well.”

Wetzell is currently plying his trade in the Japanese B-League for the Akita Northern Happinets where he averages a tick over 14 points and 7.8 rebounds per contest.

“Yanni is one of the most mobile centres you’re going to see worldwide. His ability to run the floor, that’s certainly the way the Tall Blacks have played for a while now. He’s just an unselfish guy, who leaves it all out there.”

One of the stories of the Australian NBL season has been the form of Brisbane big man Harrison, who has routinely been tallying double-doubles for the Bullets en route to averaging 16.6 points and 9.7 rebounds per game at an efficient 67 percent from the field.

“Tyrell has quickly become, certainly a guy in the NBL, who has become one of the best big men in the league. What he gives us, obviously, true size and length. He’s a presence around the basket and also someone who runs the floor as well. It’s going to be fun to have him join us again.

“We’ve got Sam Mennenga playing great basketball right now too. It’s going to be his first camp in a while, certainly his first with me.”

Mennenga will join the national team for the first time since the Tall Blacks final 2024 Olympic qualifying game against Slovenia.

The core guard rotation from August’s Asia Cup squad remains intact, with Taylor Britt, Flynn Cameron and Mojave King back from the team’s fourth place finish in Jeddah.

“Asia Cup was such an important piece for us. Not only about the tournament itself, but laying down the foundation of what this Tall Black team looks like in the next few years, and those three, great performances. Carried a lot of the weight of the team in different areas, they’re going to be big pieces for us.”

Not only will the Tall Blacks have the services of those three, but they also welcome back the Wellington Saints backcourt duo of Shea Ili and Izayah Le’afa, who between them combine for over 100 Tall Black appearances.

Ili has missed the start of the NBL season with Melbourne United with a hamstring injury but is expected to get game time this week.

“Having Shea’s presence is going to help boost everybody. We have a genuine world-class defender, and somebody that plays the Tall Blacks way, which is just all out – every single possession.”

“We welcome Izayah Le’afa back with open arms. A combo guard, somebody who can slide to the point guard. Ball-handling, also gives us defence.”

With five genuine starting level guards, minutes in the rotation will be hard to divvy out.

The squad also sees the return of Melbourne United forward, Finn Delany, who will captain the side during this opening FIBA World Cup qualifying window.

These two games will mark the fourth and fifth times the Tall Blacks and Boomers have battled this year. It was an incredibly rare occasion in the current international basketball landscape to play the same opponent five times in one calendar year.

In May’s Trans-Tasman Throwdown the Australians picked up two wins at home in Adelaide and Gold Coast, while the Tall Blacks survived a late surge to outlast their rivals in Hamilton in the Throwdown’s conclusion.

Game one of the qualifiers is in Hobart on 28 November and the return leg is in Wellington on 1 December, with the Boomers visiting the capital for the first time in 10 years.

Large-format retail property next to Sylvia Park to be sold

Source: Radio New Zealand

Supplied / Google Maps

Listed property company, Kiwi Property Group, is set to sell a large-format retail property next to its Sylvia Park complex in Auckland for $90 million.

The buyer will be a yet-to-be established fund, Mackersy LFR Fund, a large-format retail investment fund managed by Queenstown-based commercial property investor, Mackersy Property.

Kiwi Property chief executive Clive Mackenzie said it would continue to manage Sylvia Park Lifestyle, and the sale would provide capital for new developments and strengthen its balance sheet .

“By retaining a significant stake in the LFR Fund, we can continue to leverage our retail management and leasing capabilities to drive the performance of the asset on behalf of both Kiwi Property and LFR Fund investors.”

The deal is subject to Mackersy LFR raising the required funds by mid-December.

Kiwi Property has agreed to buy 50 percent of the units and underwrite another 25 percent, giving it up to 75 percent of the fund, while receiving between $52.9 million and $65.3 million cash for the sale of the property to the fund.

Mackersy chief executive Hamish Wilton said the new fund would suit wholesale investors to invest in large format retail, which tends to be resilient in all market conditions.

“Our valued relationship with Kiwi Property has meant we have been able to secure Sylvia Park Lifestyle as the initial seed asset for the fund.”

Sylvia Park Lifestyle covers 16,500 square metres and houses major retailers such as Animates and Spotlight.

Kiwi Property Group also invested in the parent company, Mackersy Property in November 2024, and expects this to convert to a 50 percent stake in December 2025.
