A public meeting held in the Auckland Town Hall organised by 'The Coalition to Stop the GCSB Bill'.

  • 1A public meeting held in the Auckland Town Hall organised by 'The Coalition to Stop the GCSB Bill'. On 8 May 2013, the National Prime Minister John Key introduced the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) and Related Legislation Amendment Bill, which would extend the powers of the GCSB to enable it to collect information from all New Zealanders for the use of other government departments including the New Zealand Police, Defence Force and the Security Intelligence Service.[34] Under the bill, the GCSB will have three main functions. Firstly, it will continue to collect foreign intelligence but it will not be allowed to spy on New Zealanders. Secondly, it will give the GCSB a legal mandate to assist the police, Defence Force and the Security Intelligence Service. Thirdly, it will extend the GCSB's cyber-security functions to encompass protecting private-sector cyber systems.[35]
