campaigns on all these three installations, concentrating on Harewood and
Waihopai. Historically, we have organised actions such as the 1990 Touching the
Bases Tour, in which people from
We have campaigned and made submissions on all the various pieces of legislation
giving expanded powers to the spies, such as the Terrorism Suppression Act,
which takes NZ in the direction of a police State; the Crimes Amendment No. 6
Act, which gives the Police, SIS and GCSB extended powers of electronic spying;
the GCSB Act, which entrenches this agency; and the various SIS Amendment Acts,
which extended the powers of the SIS and exempted them from any legal action
which may have arisen from the Choudry case having
exposed their illegal actions dating back decades. Ever since we first discovered plans to build
Waihopai, back in 1987, we have campaigned against it, organising numerous
non-violent direct action national demonstrations. We research all aspects of
these bases, specialising in Harewood and Waihopai, and have developed an
expertise in researching NZ and allied intelligence agencies. We publish Peace
Researcher, an authoritative journal on these subjects, and a record of our
activities. Sixty issues of Peace Researcher
have been published since 1983.
