Thanks, I'll follow up with finding an appropriate office to write to in New Zealand unless anyone from there can help.

The practice appears limited to Australia and New Zealand.  The last figures I compiled for OSM data imports are:

CC-BY: 10  (Australia 9 (possibly + 2?),  New Zealand 1) 

CC-BY-SA: 13 (Poland 1, Germany 5*, Czech Republic 1, Wikipedia 1, France 1, Sweden 1, The Netherlands 2, UK 1, Australia 1 [Nearmap]) 

* The German figure is apparently mostly or all due to data being specially licensed to OSM as CC-BY-SA by request.
