You cannot stop in a cycle lane to drop people off without first driving into the cycle lane.

That is technically correct but not how the language works.

"Advisory and mandatory cycle lanes, marked by a painted line, can be entered into by taxis and PHVs for pick-up and drop-off at the kerb edge"

You are allowed to drop off people in a lot of places you aren't allowed to drive or park.
