The Government Communications Security Bureau of New Zealand is going to get more powers, or rather authority, like the ability to spy on New Zealanders. It seems that they still did this without it being legal at all continuing to spy illegally on eighty-eight New Zealanders over the past decade.
Apparently under a law made in two-thousand and three the agents weren't allowed to spy on citizens or residents but there was another organisation, The Security Intelligence Service, that thought they could by misinterpreting the law.
John Key has said that the Kim Dotcom case was completely separate as the agencies believed that he was a foreigner and therefore was an allowed target. This however, was not the case at all.
I think this is a little creepy but still pretty good in the way that I really think our spies really aren't all that good. If they have the admission to spy on us I think it's kind of scary but good for them in a sense and they were doing it anyway.
