NZ's cyber spies win new powers
New cyber-monitoring measures have been quietly introduced giving police and Security Intelligence Service officers the power to monitor all aspects of someone's online life.
The measures are the largest expansion of police and SIS surveillance capabilities for decades, and mean that all mobile calls and texts, email, internet surfing and online shopping, chatting and social networking can be monitored anywhere in New Zealand.
In preparation, technicians have been installing specialist spying devices and software inside all telephone exchanges, internet companies and even fibre-optic data networks between cities and towns, providing police and spy agencies with the capability to monitor almost all communications.

Nothing to do with al Qaeda
This has nothing to do with al Qaeda, and all to do with this pathetic government trying to assert its power. Everyone needs to watch "Fiat Empire" and look at our national deficit. Where does John Key seeing NZ going? We're running on a bunch of fake, speculative, baloney paper money which is simply borrowed or printed. Now thanks to idiots like Key, we are $9,000,000,000 in debt! So much for "managing the economy". This country is ending up like America!
The license plate reading cameras and all the rest of it, have nothing to do with fighting the mythical Osama Bin Laden, or the CIA's al Qaeda organisation. It's all about shutting up anyone who would dare to question things. It is an amusing attempt at best, but ultimately it will fail, just as it is in America. Over in the US, you are considered a "terrorist" if you have a copy of "America - Freedom to Fascism". Oh noes, the plebs are getting informed, call the Thought-Police :O :O
This be double-plus bad-think!!! :O :O :O
That's right government, we're YOUR overlords!
:-D
