Hang on, I'm confused now. Aren't you mixing up DNS zones and whois information there?
You're talking about Chesley Rafferty targeting .nz domain name registrants by harvesting whois data, presumably?
I'm assuming we're talking about the root nz zone here.
If you can do a zone transfer on the .nz domain, then you get a list of
all the domains currently setup (basically a list of all nz domains)
You can then walk through that and do a whois for each domain.
Spam heaven...
