A public reserve will finally be established on the iconic Miramar Peninsula – Te Motu Kairangi in Wellington, Conservation Minister Tama Potaka and Land Information Minister Chris Penk have announced.

“Watts Peninsula, also known as Mātai Moana, is a prominent landmark with enormous historical and cultural significance for many New Zealanders,” Mr Potaka says.

“The Watts Peninsula public reserve was first promised to the people of Wellington and New Zealand by the government in 2011,” Mr Penk says.

“I can today confirm that a reserve will be created on the northern tip of Miramar Peninsula, following the transfer of 72 hectares of land from Land Information New Zealand to the Department of Conservation – Te Papa Atawhai (DOC).

“There is strong public interest in safeguarding the whenua (land) and I thank everyone who has advocated for this outcome.

“The area is home to pā sites, wāhi tapu (sacred places) and military heritage sites built from the 1880s through to the Second World War, including Fort Ballance.

“This decision will preserve a treasured part of Wellington and its rich history for future generations.”

Mr Potaka says a charitable trust will manage the reserve, with trustees appointed by Wellington City Council, Taranaki Whānui and DOC.

“The Trust’s role will be to protect, preserve, and promote the reserve as a place of ecological, historical, and cultural importance that all people can access and enjoy.

“Establishing the reserve offers an opportunity to regenerate Watts Peninsula for the benefit of all New Zealanders and overseas manuhiri (visitors) while protecting our beautiful indigenous flora and fauna.

“Ongoing funding for the operation and maintenance of the reserve will be provided by Wellington City Council, and Taranaki Whānui through the Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust.”

An official opening of the reserve will take place once it’s ready for public access.

Notes to editor:

The land will be transferred from LINZ to DOC under the Public Works Act and will then be formalised as a recreation reserve by DOC under the Reserves Act.
The reserve is the land previously used by the New Zealand Defence Force. It does not include the neighbouring Wellington Prison/Mt Crawford site, or the community gardens based on the prison site.

Transporting New Zealand supports plans to toll the Belfast to Pegasus Motorway and Woodend Bypass (B2P)

National road freight association Transporting New Zealand is endorsing plans to toll the new 10km motorway from SH1 Belfast to Pegasus Motorway and the new Woodend Bypass (B2P), which is planned to open by 2030.

Transporting New Zealand Chief Executive Dom Kalasih says that tolling revenue is essential to getting B2P and other Roads of National Significance delivered.

The NZTA estimates that the route will earn $514 million in tolls over 35 years (or a positive net present value of $125m), helping cover the estimated cost of construction of between $729-$876m.

“Between this route and two other recently proposed toll roads which we supported – Otaki to North of Levin and the Takitimu North Link in Bay of Plenty – some $1.5 billion in toll revenue is estimated to be collected over 35 years. That’s money that doesn’t come from the National Land Transport Fund, and which can instead be allocated to maintaining or improving existing roads,” says Kalasih.

“Nobody enjoys stumping up for road tolls, particularly when they’re already paying fuel tax or weight-calculated Road User Charges. However, modern, grade separated roads keep motorists safer, move people and freight faster, and reduce congestion and inefficient stop-start driving.”

“B2P also has toll-free alternative routes available and projected traffic volumes well above the mandatory 10,000 daily tolling threshold.”

“The sooner we can deliver those improvements the better.”

Kalasih says the alternative to tolling is additional government borrowing, higher fuel taxes and Road User Charges, or freezing the roading pipeline. As it is, NZTA’s forecasting shows a growing transport funding deficit, reaching $6b a year by 2030.

The proposed toll road is innovative in having two toll gantries on different sections of the route, but with a proposed toll fee for each being half what a single toll across the entire route would be ($1.25 for light vehicles, and $2.50 for heavy vehicles, or a total of $2.50/$5.00 across the entire route).

“The New Zealand Transport Agency have devised this solution as a way of minimising diversion of through traffic onto local roads, while also being fairer to local traffic who may only use a portion of the route,” Kalasih says.

“This section of State Highway is a major freight route and a major connector to Christchurch city, the airport, and Lyttleton Port. Upgrading some of the highway to a 4-lane divided motorway, and adding the new Woodend Bypass will take heavy freight off local roads, reduce travel times and improve road safety for a modest toll fee,” Kalasih concludes.

Tech and Security – Ransomware Hits New Peak: Zscaler Finds Data Theft Nearly Doubles to 238TB in One Year

LiveNews Publisher

September 10, 2025

Source: Zscaler

Key Findings:

Ransomware attacks blocked by the Zscaler cloud rose 146% globally, the sharpest spike observed in the past three years.
Public extortion cases jumped by 70% based on data leak site analysis.
Data exfiltration volumes increased 92%.
The United States remains the top ransomware attack target, while Australia ranked among the eight most-targeted countries globally and second most in APAC region.
Australia saw a 110% year-over-year increase in ransomware attacks, with the manufacturing, healthcare, and government sectors being the most heavily impacted.

SYDNEY, Australia – 10 September 2025 – Zscaler, Inc., the leader in cloud security, today published its annual Zscaler ThreatLabz 2025 Ransomware Report. The report examines the latest trends shaping the ransomware threat landscape, revealing how attacks are adapting and escalating. It highlights the most targeted sectors and regions, profiles the most active ransomware families, analyses shifting attack methodologies, and provides actionable recommendations to help organisations strengthen their defences. ThreatLabz’s findings underscore the critical importance of organisations adopting a comprehensive Zero Trust Everywhere strategy. This approach is essential to prevent ransomware and other malicious threats from lateral movement and compromising sensitive user data, applications, and information.

“The sharp rise in ransomware attacks in Australia reinforces a critical truth that no organisation is immune and no region is off-limits,” said Heng Mok, CISO-in-Residence, Asia Pacific & Japan at Zscaler. “This escalation reflects not just a growing number of adversaries, but the increasing sophistication of their tactics, often powered by GenAI. Leveraging AI tools such as ChatGPT and other dark web variants means that threat actors, regardless of sophistication level, can create more efficient, scalable and automated attacks democratising both the effort and costs of an attack. Now is the moment for businesses and government leaders across ANZ and APAC to reassess their cyber resilience and business aligned cyber strategies. What’s required is a fundamental shift in strategy towards a modern defensible architecture, one that embraces Zero Trust as the new foundation for security.”

Data Demand Fuels Steady Attack Growth

Ransomware attacks globally are intensifying at an alarming rate, with attempted attacks blocked in the Zscaler cloud up 146% year-over-year. This escalation reflects a strategic shift: ransomware groups are increasingly prioritising data theft and extortion over data encryption, with sensitive data leaked online when victims fail to pay. Accordingly, the report details a 92% increase in the total volume of exfiltrated data by 10 major ransomware groups in the past year, rising from 123 TB to 238 TB. This emphasis on data theft—and the threat of exposure—allows attackers to exert greater pressure on victims, amplifying the impact of ransomware on organisations globally including reputational damage, regulatory fines and an erosion of customer trust.The long-term impact goes beyond just the immediate disruption. It puts an organisation’s reputation, day-to-day operations, and overall strategy at risk. Losing customer trust can hurt a company’s standing and value, while fines from regulators add to the damage. As ransomware attacks become more advanced, businesses must work harder to protect their sensitive data and stay safe.

Industries Under Siege

In Australia, ransomware activity has surged particularly in the manufacturing, healthcare, and government sectors, closely mirroring global trends. Cybercriminals continue to focus on the high-stakes environments of the Manufacturing (1,063 attacks), Technology (922), and Healthcare (672) sectors, making them the most frequently hit by ransomware over the past year. These industries are particularly vulnerable due to the potential for operational disruption, the sensitivity of stolen data, and the associated risks of reputational damage and regulatory fallout.

The Oil & Gas sector has seen a staggering increase in ransomware attacks, spiking over 900% year-over-year. This surge is likely a result of increased automation of systems that control critical infrastructure, including drilling rigs and pipelines, expanding the sector’s attack surface, coupled with outdated security practices.

Ransomware Operators Focus on Digitally Mature, High-Value Economies

Leak site data highlights a distinct geographic disparity, with victims in the United States accounting for 50% of ransomware attacks, significantly outpacing Canada (5%) and the United Kingdom (4%). Ransomware attacks in the U.S. more than doubled to 3,671, exceeding the combined total number of attacks reported across all other countries in the top 15 most-targeted countries.

Leak site data found that Australia also saw one of the highest year-over-year increase in ransomware incidents, ranking as the 8th most impacted country globally and 2nd in the APAC region rising 110% from 73 to 153 attacks. This surge reflects how threat actors are expanding their focus beyond traditional hotspots to include countries like Australia, where digital transformation, critical infrastructure, and healthcare vulnerabilities are rising in parallel.

Ransomware Groups Driving the Surge

Several highly active groups continued to dominate the ransomware ecosystem, with RansomHub leading the pack, claiming the highest number of publicly named victims globally at 833. Akira and Clop have both moved up in the ransomware attack rankings since last year. Akira, associated with 520 victims, has steadily expanded its reach through numerous affiliates and initial access brokers. Clop, known for its focus on supply chain attacks, is close behind with 488 victims, employing an effective strategy of exploiting vulnerabilities in commonly used third-party software.

Zscaler ThreatLabz identified 34 newly active ransomware families over the past year, bringing the total number tracked to 425 since their research began, and has a public GitHub repository that now hosts 1,018 ransomware notes, with 73 added in the last year.

How Zscaler Stops Ransomware with Zero Trust + AI

Ransomware flourishes in environments with fragmented security, limited visibility, implicit trust, and outdated legacy architectures that amplify risk rather than reduce it. The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange mitigates these risks by replacing traditional, network-centric models with a cloud-native, AI-driven zero trust architecture, and stops ransomware at every stage of the attack life cycle by:

Minimising the attack surface

Preventing initial compromise

Eliminating lateral movement

Blocking data exfiltration

Additional AI-powered ransomware protections from Zscaler include:

Breach prediction

Phishing and C2 detection

Inline sandboxing

Environment – “Will they protect freshwater?” – Greenpeace reveals Environment Canterbury candidate scorecard

LiveNews Publisher

September 10, 2025

‘Will they or won’t they commit to freshwater protections?’ That’s the question Greenpeace has asked of candidates standing for Environment Canterbury (ECan) regional council.

This is all laid out in Greenpeace’s freshwater scorecard released today, revealing which candidates standing in the ECan elections understand the seriousness of freshwater pollution, and are committed to taking action.

Canterbury-based Greenpeace spokesperson Will Appelbe says “Over the next few days, Cantabrians will be receiving their voting papers in the mail. We’ve asked candidates if they will stand up to protect freshwater, and we want to empower voters with this knowledge.

“Freshwater is at breaking point, and nowhere is that more obvious than in Canterbury,” says Appelbe.

“While Environment Canterbury allows the intensive dairy industry to expand unchecked, rivers are becoming too polluted to swim in and many families can’t even drink the water coming out of their kitchen tap without fear of getting sick.

“This pollution will get worse unless it’s stopped at the source – the intensive dairy industry.”

In August, it was revealed that Environment Canterbury had green-lit the addition of more than 16,000 new dairy cattle on the Canterbury plains – something Appelbe says is simply not acceptable.

“New Zealand is at the knife-edge of corporate greed,” says Appelbe. “The intensive dairy industry is destroying lakes, rivers, and drinking water to make as much money as they can, and everyone else bears the cost with polluted drinking water and inflated dairy prices.”

“That’s why we’re calling on all Environment Canterbury candidates to commit to ending dairy expansion in the region and phasing out the use of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser – because everybody, no matter where they live, has the right to clean safe drinking water.”

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week) is nearly here and this year there will be plenty of events on in Porirua to mark a special birthday.

The week, which runs this year from 14-20 September, is an annual celebration for all New Zealanders to show their support for Te Reo Māori, an official language of Aotearoa New Zealand.

This year’s Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori is the 50 th time it has been celebrated, growing from a single Māori Language Day in 1972 to a fully fledged week three years later. Its growth and gains are what we recognise 50 years on.

Porirua’s General Manager Community & Partnerships, Reuben Friend, says a week of events is a time to embrace, honour and spread te reo in our community.

“ E whaiwhai ake te kaunihera o Porirua i te kaupapa mō tēnei tau, arā ko te huritau 50 e whakanuia ana i tō tātou reo Māori, hei reo mō ake ake ake. | Porirua City Council supports this year’s theme of 50 years of celebrating Māori Language Week, and of Māori being a forever language.

“It is already well-integrated into our society and phrases and expressions have become the norm for many of us, but it is important that this becomes even more ingrained,” he says.

“It’s 38 years since te reo Māori became an official language in Aotearoa, so it’s up to everyone to be kaitiaki of the language and make it stronger than ever.

“Te Reo Māori is undeniably a forever language.”

Federated Farmers – Farmers blindsided by $4000 winter grazing charges

LiveNews Publisher

September 10, 2025

Source: Federated Farmers

Southland farmers are raising concerns over unexpected charges following Environment Southland’s winter grazing compliance checks, with some invoices reportedly reaching $4000.

Federated Farmers Southland president Jason Herrick says the problem isn’t the inspections themselves, but the fees issued when no problems are found.

“Farmers understand the need for good environmental practices and compliance.

“But being invoiced for a visit where there are no breaches or problems is incredibly frustrating.

“One farmer I spoke to was charged for nine hours of staff time for a compliance visit where everything was fine.

“It’s absolutely ridiculous.”

Environment Southland has been conducting flyovers to monitor intensive winter grazing.

Following these aerial checks, officers have been visiting some farms to confirm compliance with environmental regulations.

Herrick says some farmers have told him visits have come with little to no notice, adding to their frustration.

“I’ve definitely had a few phone calls from farmers upset about the lack of notice, and the charges,” Herrick says.

“They feel blindsided, especially when the inspection confirms everything is in order.”

He says council officials will defend the fees as a way of ensuring compliance costs aren’t passed onto ratepayers.

“They’ll say they’re just charging where the costs are,” Herrick says.

“But from a farmer’s perspective, it feels like being penalised for doing the right thing.”

The current approach also raises questions about the balance between environmental oversight and supporting farmers to comply.

Herrick says the practice risks undermining trust between farmers and the council.

“There really needs to be a fair and transparent process around fees.

“If fees for compliant farms continue, it will erode trust. Farmers want to cooperate, but they also need to feel treated fairly.”

Herrick says many farmers have been unfairly caught out by a change in the Water and Land Plan, which increased the fencing setback for waterways from three metres to five.

The confusion comes from Environment Court wording that requires all winter crop buffer zones next to waterways to be 10 metres from the edge of the water.

The rule was introduced last season, after crops had already been planted, requiring the five-metre buffer to be measured inside the paddock.

But because many waterways had been fenced under the old three-metre rule, farmers who planted to meet the new five-metre requirement ended up with only eight metres in total from the water’s edge – short of the new 10-metre setback.

“Plenty of farmers did the right thing by the old rules, but now they’re being followed up after flyovers.

“Wouldn’t it make more sense for the council to focus on educating farmers about the change and supporting them to adapt, rather than penalising them?”

He says this is particularly important with winter grazing, where crop sowing and fencing decisions are locked in well ahead of time.

“Once crops are in the ground, making changes is difficult, time-consuming and costly.”

The council’s critical source area definition is also unclear and confusing for farmers trying to do the right think, he says.

“The council needs to be much clearer about what a CSA is, as it appears their staff think it applies to any undulation in a paddock leading to a waterway.”

In July, Environment Southland noted on its website that its team had carried out the second of its monthly winter grazing flights.

The council said, “Many farmers have put a lot of work into their winter grazing plans to have a smooth season.

“However, we are still seeing issues of buffers being the incorrect size and critical source areas not being fenced off.

“There were 14 properties identified to follow up, mostly because of buffer sizes and critical source areas. These farmers will be followed up with.”

But Herrick says the number of farmers who’ve contacted him with concerns about Environment Southland’s approach has far exceeded 14.

He’d like to see the council taking more of an educational approach to winter grazing compliance.

“I’ve heard from farmers in other regions like Otago, where councils are managing compliance from a very different mindset.

“They’ve taken more of an educational approach, helping farmers understand what their obligations are and supporting them to lift their standard where needed.

“I think Environment Southland should follow suit. That would help them build more trust with farmers down here, and quite possibly achieve even better compliance.”

Federated Farmers – Warning of carbon forestry threat to Central North Island

LiveNews Publisher

September 10, 2025

Source: Federated Farmers

Federated Farmers Whanganui is urging the Government to urgently close loopholes and strengthen rules to stop whole-farm carbon forestry conversions on productive land.

“Farming plays a huge role in our local economy, but we’re increasingly seeing sheep displaced by permanent pine trees,” says provincial president Ben Fraser.

“That’s a huge concern for those of us who live rurally, but it’s equally concerning for those who live in our towns. At the end of the day, we’re all one community, supporting the same local economy.”

Fraser says farming is a big income earner for the region and generates employment both on farm and in the supporting industries.

“That money flows right through our entire economy.

“Lock-up-and-leave pine forests just aren’t going to generate the same level of economic activity. They may create carbon credits and pest problems, but they don’t create jobs.”

Federated Farmers has been highly critical of the Government’s proposed carbon forestry rules, saying they don’t go anywhere near far enough to be effective.

The Government’s proposal is to cap the amount of farmland that can be registered in the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) at 25%.

But that limit applies only to land use capability (LUC) classes 1 to 5 – the land least likely to be targeted for carbon farming in the first place.

“Only 12% of recent whole-farm conversations to carbon forestry have actually happened on land classes 1 to 5 anyway, so it’s not really a solution at all,” Fraser says.

“The remaining 88% have happened on land classes 6 and 7, which also happens to be the land where most of our sheep and beef farms operate.

“LUC is a tool designed for determining the land’s ‘capability’ – it’s even in the name.”

Fraser says the system has been used to set rules and limits, but capability is often confused with productivity.

“Sure, we don’t grow avocados or kiwifruit on our hills but that doesn’t mean the land isn’t any less important.

“It’s productive sheep-breeding country that’s critical in New Zealand’s farming and food production system.

“Lambs born on the hills are either sold up to weight or flicked off earlier as trade to fattening blocks, where entire farming systems are reliant on a reliable source of stock.

“If productive sheep and beef farms continue to be replaced by permanent pine forests, soon we’ll be bartering pinecones for a new pair of boots.”

Fraser adds that class 6 and 7 land is far from barren or marginal – it’s the picturesque hill country that features on postcards, calendars and TV shows celebrating New Zealand farming life.

“This is the landscape many Kiwis are most proud of – the classic sheep and beef hill country that defines our rural identity.

“It’s the stunning farmland we see showcased on Country Calendar or in Kia Ora magazine, but this is what we’re at risk of losing.”

Fraser says the impacts of carbon forestry on the Central North Island can already be clearly seen in places like Taumarunui, where local communities, rural schools and businesses have been decimated.

“I would hate to see the same thing happen to Taihape or Whanganui.

“Once that land’s planted in pine trees for carbon forestry, it’s gone for good and never coming back. Is that really the future we want for our country?”

Under the Government’s proposed rules, land classes 6 and 7 will receive little to no protection and whole farms will still be able to be planted for carbon credits.

“The most frustrating thing is that we 100% support what the Government is trying to achieve here – protecting productive farmland from being planted in pine trees,” Fraser says.

“The issue is that the legislative fix they’re proposing isn’t actually going to solve the problem.

“There’s an old saying that if a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing properly.

“I’d really urge the Government to reflect on those words, because this job is definitely worth doing properly.”

Federated Farmers is calling on the Government to work with farmers and rural communities to find a practical solution that will actually work.

Health – Telehealth does nothing to cut emergency department wait times, GP shortages

LiveNews Publisher

September 10, 2025

Source: GenPro

Telehealth has a place in modern medicine but it will never replace the benefits of a face-to-face consultation and continuity of care, the General Practice Owners Association says.

“All the research shows that presenting and being treated by a family doctor results in the best outcomes for the health system and patients, especially those with multiple conditions,” says GenPro Chair Dr Angus Chambers.

Dr Chambers says the government is very good at trumpeting the benefits of its new telehealth service, but is papering over the problems in primary healthcare.

“It’s no wonder we’re seeing these numbers when the government has subsidised this service at a far higher rate than it funds general practice.

“Telehealth has done nothing to reduce demand for free treatment, which causes over crowding and long wait times in emergency departments.

“And it is worsening the shortage of GPs in clinics. An example being one of the telehealth services growing from five doctors to 75 in the space of two years – so that’s 70 fewer GPs examining patients.”

Dr Chambers says that about one in five people who have a screen consultation are later required to visit a GP.

“While telehealth has a role to play in the context of constraints for acute care, it is not helping the GP shortage, it is not reducing waiting times at emergency departments, and it is not a sensible alternative for patients with multiple morbidities requiring continuity of care.

“GenPro would prefer that the lavish funding provided to the telehealth service is directed towards supporting general practices to employ more GPs and reduce wait times.

“Evidence from the UK shows that telehealth does nothing to reduce emergency department attendance rates, time to cancer diagnosis, or to see a specialist. Telehealth might be convenient, but it is not best for many patients.”
