It is nothing to do with Robbies in NZ. It is a Safety Notice published by Robinson, in June 2017, that the media have just picked up on.
When you read it, it actually isn't anything that pilots aren't already aware of. Passengers can be a distraction. Link here:

Not that I'm a big fan of Robbies, but I think the media are making a mountain out of a mole hill with this one.
