Vehicles stolen after NZTA breaches privacy of 1000 owners
Photo: RNZ / Dom Thomas A privacy breach exposed the details of nearly 1000 people in a Transport Agency database over the course of 12 months. The agency said the breach was suspected to have resulted in at least 13 vehicles being targeted for theft. It admitted the problem to RNZ after one of the people affected contacted RNZ. The agency said the problem involved the agency's Motochek system, which allowed registered users to electronically access information held on the Motor Vehicle Register. "NZTA became aware of the breach in May 2025, via a customer complaint and through police as a part of an ongoing investigation. We determined that the unauthorised access resulted from the Motocheck account of an ex-employee of Auckland Auto Collections Ltd being used to access people's names and addresses from the MVR," it said in a statement. "To date we have determined that names and addresses of 951 people were accessed improperly over the 12 months to May 2025, and that at least 13 of these vehicles are suspected to have been targeted for theft." The agency said it was contacting potentially affected people to advise them of the breach, update them on actions being taken to address the situation, and to provide support and advice to address their concerns. "We have sincerely apologised to those affected for the inconvenience and distress caused by the breach," it said. NZTA said it was also assisting police with their investigations of the breach and vehicles which might have been targeted for theft. It had also notified the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. NZTA said it had systems and processes to protect peoples' privacy, including the terms and conditions which authorised users were expected to meet if they accessed the register. "Work is underway to improve the protection of personal information within our registers, with a priority to address risks of harm. This work will involve improvements across policy, contractual, operational and digital aspects of register access," it said. A person affected by the breach was told in a message from NZTA that their full name and address were accessed last year. "We have been unable to confirm the reason why your name and address was accessed. If you feel that your personal safety is at risk, we encourage you to contact NZ Police directly," the message said.

Wandering cows spark safety fears on Tairāwhiti's highways
Gisborne farmers are being called on to help prevent wandering stock from becoming a "road statistic" by the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA). File picture. Photo: LDR Roaming stock are wandering onto Tairāwhiti's local roads and highways more than once a day on average. A Gisborne freight driver wants more to be done to address the issue after witnessing crashes and nearly hitting cows on roads himself. The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has called on the region's farmers to help prevent the animals from becoming a "road statistic". Data from NZTA and Gisborne District Council (GDC) showed there have been more than 450 incidents of roaming stock in just over a year on the region's local roads and state highways. Gizzy Moves owner David Connell drives across the country for work, and believes the issue of roaming stock is at its worst on the East Coast. "I've almost hit cows on three occasions in the last three years, all in the same spot... between the area around Nūhaka, and Iwitea to Wairoa," Connell said. As well as stock, he said he has also seen a countless number of goats "mowed over by everything in the middle of the night" between Gisborne and Hawke's Bay. Connell provided Local Democracy Reporting with dashcam footage from his vehicle, showing him nearly hitting cows in Wairoa last week. "I was also towing a heavy-laden trailer, so it was just by chance that I managed to squeeze them between the two that were on the road." There were another eight to 10 cows on the side of the road, not shown on the video, he said. "Cows are herd animals; once one of them is drifting, the whole lot's going." He believed accessways, gates, and fences on the main highways should be reinforced or improved. "I'm in commercial vehicles nine times out of 10, but if you were... in a little bl***y Yaris or a Swift... you're not walking away from hitting... a ton worth a cow, especially if you hit it at 100[km/h]". NZTA Hawke's Bay and Gisborne systems manager Martin Colditz reiterated its call to farmers to help "avoid their stock becoming a statistic on our roads". Property owners or farm managers should be mindful of their supervision, regularly check fences, and take extra care when moving stock on roads, he said. Colditz said NZTA Waka Kotahi was carrying out an inspection of SH35 and would work with the council to engage with property owners. They were also exploring how they could manage and enforce increasing occurrences of wandering stock, especially on SH35. "Wandering stock on our highways presents a risk to life, so please report them as soon as you can, either by calling 0800 4 HIGHWAYS, or 111 where there is an immediate risk to safety," said Colditz. Waka Kotahi worked closely with the GDC, which had a delegation to enforce stock control on the region's state highways via the Stock Control Bylaw (2017). There were 186 instances of contractors being called out to deal with wandering stock (horses, sheep, deer) on Tai Rāwhiti state highways between May 2024 and May 2025, according to NZTA. This included 157 callouts on State Highway 35 and 29 on State Highway 2 north and south of Gisborne. On local roads, GDC animal control team lead Ross Hannam said the council received 271 'requests for service' regarding the issue from 1 July, 2024, to 30 June, 2025. "Waka Kotahi have contractors to deal with stock on state highways," Hannam said. The council had received four requests for services for both SH2 and SH35, which were dealt with as quickly as possible, according to Hannam. He said the first thing the council did was remove stock from the road to make it safe. If the owner was known, they would contact them. If they couldn't contact the owner, they would impound the stock. "The big problem is horses within the city and townships up the coast. There are a lot of horse owners that don't have any land to hold their horses," he said. "Any stock not claimed is auctioned off. This is mainly horses, and there are two or three per year." He said the council issued fencing notices to repeat offenders. The council could not issue infringements under the Animal Control Act and bylaws. Federated Farmers Gisborne-Wairoa provincial president Charles Reynolds said farmers must be vigilant about fencing. He said he had no information on whether the issue of wandering stock was worsening in the region. Wandering stock was a bigger issue up the coast north of Tolaga Bay along SH35, he said. However, Reynolds believed incidences of livestock on roads were low relative to the hundreds of kilometres of farming fence lines in the district. The vast majority of farmers were aware of the safety threat to motorists - and their animals, he said. Storms and landslides that took out fencing were a known issue. "From time to time, gates may be left open by mistake, or by visitors to a farm. Trees and large branches can fall on fences, damaging sections and enabling animals to escape," Reynolds said.

Hitech Confirm Team For New Zealand
Hitech – one of the best-known international single-seater motorsport teams – has today confirmed it will field a three-car team in the 2026 Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Trophy. The team will enter as Hitech TGR, embarking on a long-term commitment to the New Zealand-based championship. It becomes the sixth team competing in the FR Oceania Trophy alongside Giles Motorsport, Kiwi Motorsport, M2 Competition, mtec Motorsport and recently confirmed HMD Motorsport with TJ Speed for 2026. Hitech's first full campaign was a three-car entry in the 2016 FIA Formula 3 European championship, and they have since expanded into FIA Formula 2, FIA Formula 3, GB3, British Formula 4, Formula Winter Series and F1 Academy. The team has also competed in the Formula Regional European, Asian, and Middle East series, and in 2019 Hitech was selected by the FIA to operate the full grid of cars in the former W Series, which utilised similar chassis to those used in New Zealand. The team's record of success across the single-seater categories is impressive and former drivers include George Russell, Alex Palou, Liam Lawson, Isack Hadjar, Marcus Armstrong, Dennis Hauger, Sebastian Montoya, Jack Doohan and Juri Vips. The team currently sits third in the FIA F2 Teams' Standings with Luke Browning and Dino Beganovic, and is leading the British F4 Championship for a second successive season. Hitech has previously entrusted a number of its drivers to the New Zealand championship to further their development. Consolidating its commitment to the series was a natural step for the team as it continues to extend its presence in key international junior single-seater categories and series. "We are excited to be joining the Castrol Toyota FR Oceania Trophy with an official three-car Hitech entry from the 2026 season,' confirmed Hitech GB3 Team Manager Phil Blow, who will head up the New Zealand effort. 'In recent years, we have sent Hitech drivers to the series for off-season mileage and to gain further experience, but as the championship continues to go from strength to strength, the time is right for us to have a fully-fledged Hitech team in New Zealand. 'As ever, we look forward to the competition, and to providing three young drivers in the region with the opportunity to gain a foothold on the junior single-seater ladder and begin their progression.' The news follows confirmation recently that US outfit HMD Motorsport with TJ Speed will join the 2026 championship and follows a raft of changes to the series to make it easier for Northern hemisphere teams and drivers to take part in the entire championship and not face date clashes with testing for other series. 'This is the sixth team for the 2026 championship and is another with an exceptionally high profile and track record in international motorsport, so this is only good news for the championship," commented TOYOTA GAZOO Racing New Zealand motorsport manager Nicolas Caillol. 2026 Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Trophy Rd1 - 9-11 January - Hampton Downs International Motorsport Park Rd2 - 16-18 January - Taupo International Motorsport Park Rd3 - 23-25 January - Teretonga Raceway, Invercargill
