I would agree that appears to be a scam site as when you click on Disclaimer in the top bar it takes you to a page saying "Disclaimer goes here"

Yep - first popped up for me middle of last year and, being in my (very!) late 60's, I had a closer look at the time.  Definitely a scam that still pops up from various (dodgy) sources occasionally.

They are talking about implementing alot of those changes though:  https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/driver-licence-changes-help-young-kiwis

Yes, and scammers taking advantage of this.

The domain ebedu.co.nz was registered barely three weeks ago and the whois contact details are incomplete, so that fails the sniff test pretty quickly.

Kind of raises the question as to why our .nz registry still allows domains to be registered without proper, verifiable Registrant, Admin and Technical details, which is a useful gift to scammers.

And the problem is, until there's a confirmed scam and loss of money, the registry won't do anything because... It's just ads.

Like Facebook really. "It's not breaking our T&Cs"

The domain registrant details are redacted, which is allowed, so long as the registrant is providing correct details to the registry in the first place.

From 4 steps to protect your privacy in .nz domain name space » Domain Name Commission NZ: (emphasis mine)

 

You can elect to have an Individual Registrant Privacy Option (also known as IRPO) apply at the time of registration. If you are an individual not involved in significant trade, opt in to this feature and your address and telephone number will be withheld from being publicly searchable on the .nz domain name online register.

 

With the privacy option on, your personal information is held securely by the Domain Name Commission and InternetNZ who run and manage the .nz domain name space, and certain details are restricted from being publicly available. 

 

They don't care. Like Facebook don't care.

Fair call.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if whatever contact details supplied are fake and the cost to register was paid using stolen CC details.

There’s also a red floating button on the right that says 'Payment made,Claim here.' Didn’t try but suspect that’s where it asks for your bank details. 

Ha, was literally just reading the "news article" when I came here to see if real. In looking at the details though, they seem sensible - 

Demerit point loss of license at 50 not 100 for learners / restricted.

No practical test after 18 months (my daughter will be pleased, shes had her restricted for 2-3 years but hates the practical tests). 

Will have to wait and see what and when the actual changes will be

I thought this sounds familiar. And checked history from ~20mins ago when I went wth is this.

Sure enough it redirects to that domain too. Certainly not the California examiner 

And if you google California examiner. Guess what domain shows up in results 

That guy is not even Luxon.

No hair and blue tie, should be close enough.
