This is stupid. They put 1000s of lives at risk, but Waka Kotahi claims it's not within their regulatory powers and the Police can be bothered to investigate. All that happened was they lost their authority to issue WoFs. That's barely a deterrent at all.

This is bad, I happened to be caught up in this indirectly as my WOF was due the same weekend the police invalidated all of these WOFs. I waited in a long queue for more than 2 hours in the hot sun...
Did get chatting to these guys that got ripped off though, they got no compensation. At the minimum this guy should have had to refund or reimburse those who are out of pocket due to his actions. Then a hefty fine on top of that.
