We should reach out to them and ask that they send Firefox for Android and Firefox OS browsers to the mobile site as well.

This is still happening as of today.
Both Firefox for Android and Firefox OS receives the Desktop version while iOS receives the mobile version.

Maybe a contact with Ben Ataya
Head of Web Development at APN Online (NZ)
Let's try. Email sent.

Got an answer, sent the patterns of our UA strings. 
They are looking at it.

Ben Ataya sent me a message to tell me it was fixed.
I just checked and indeed it is thanks to HeraldNZ and people at the journal!
Closing as FIXED.
