GCSB: not on your nelly, they don't - Parliamentary speech extract This is an extract from a speech (8/5/01) in Parliament by Green Co-Leader, Rod Donald, on the introduction of the Government Communications Security Bureau Bill. The GCSB is the NZ spy agency which runs the Waihopai satellite interception spybase, and operates as a junior branch of American Intelligence. Ed. "One objective of the GCSB is to contribute to national security by providing foreign intelligence that the Government requires to protect and advance New Zealand's economic well being to the extent that it is affected by the actions or intentions of foreign organisations or persons.
When we look at serious threats to our sovereignty, our international well being and our economic well being the GCSB have been an abject failure ". Non-Members:
