	New Zealand's Intelligence and Security Agencies lack proper control and oversight - Green Party
		I do not think that the intelligence agencies are coming at the GE issue from the Green Party's political angle that pro-GE multinationals, such as Monsanto, are more clandestinely affecting New Zealand's economic well-being than anyone else.
		The service claims in a recently released booklet that ”there are individuals and groups in New Zealand with links to overseas organisations that are committed to acts of terrorism, violence, and intimidation.
		Is the Security Intelligence Service broadly targeting the Islamic community in New Zealand, particularly migrants from Middle Eastern countries in the way that American intelligence agencies certainly are as part of their so-called war against terrorism, and in a way that is fostering racist responses in the community?

	New Zealand Security Intelligence Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS or SIS) is an intelligence agency of the New Zealand government.
		The SIS issued a security risk certificate pursuant to section 114 of the Immigration Act 1987 and Zaoui was detained in a penal institution under a warrant of commitment.
		In 2004, allegations surfaced that the SIS was spying on Māori individuals and organisations, including those associated with the new Māori Party, for political purposes under the codename "Operation Leaf." A government inquiry led by the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security later rejected these claims in April 2005, however.

		In 2003, the Immigration Service told the Ombudsman that it did not possess a memorandum that stated that the Immigration Service was "lying in unison" regarding the case of Ahmed Zaoui, an Algerian asylum seeker.
		According to a Press Release by New Zealand's Green Party, decisions about what goes into Australians' and New Zealanders' food and even what goes onto the label will continue to be made in secret, as a result of an Ombudsman's ruling.
		Stuff Magazine (New Zealand) reports that Mark Prebble, head of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, said yesterday he had decided to treat the Prime Minister's request for Corngate documents as a request under the Official Information Act, leading to the withholding of all advice from the department.

	Zaoui v. Attorney-General
		Finally, the Inspector-General said that although the Director in his further advice on the definition of “security” seemed to assert that Mr Zaoui posed a threat and danger to the security of New Zealand on both international well-being and economic well-being grounds, his discussion with the Director suggested such was not the case.
		We reject the arguments that the terms “danger to the security of Canada” and terrorism”; are unconstitutionally vague and that ss.19 and 53(1)(b) of the Act violate the Charter guarantees of free expression and free association, and conclude that the Act’s impugned procedures, properly followed, are constitutional.
		He argued Mr Zaoui could not be regarded as a “danger to the security of the country in which he is” or as a “danger to the security” of New Zealand relying, too, on the observations of Feller Tűrk and Nicholson (op cit pp12-13) that “refoulement must be the last possible resort” to eliminate danger.

	Green Party Submission on the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service Amendment Bill - Green Party
		While the Intelligence and Security Committee Act bars Parliamentary Select Committees from examining the policy, administration or expenditure of any Intelligence and Security Agency, the referral of the Bill to this committee was a government decision and is not required by statute.
		The subsequent investigation of the break-in by the Inspector General of Intelligence and Security confirmed that the assurance that lawful dissent would not lead to surveillance is totally useless.
		The Green Party therefore recommends that the Intelligence and Security Committee report to the House that this bill not be passed.

	Spies expose SIS conspiracy
		Intelligence information came to light on Monday November 1st amidst speculation that political fallout from an inquiry into John Tamihere’s taxation affairs could have resulted in his resignation not only from Cabinet but also from Parliament.
		Their allegations suggest the SIS is going well beyond its statutory role which allows it to spy on New Zealanders when the country's security is at stake through terrorism, espionage, sabotage and attempts to overthrow the government by force.
		New Zealanders take for granted that our freedom to live in an open democracy is a basic standard of living for our nation’ said Mrs Turia.

		On 20 March 2003 a 'Security Risk Certificate was issued by the Director of Security under Part 4A of the Immigration Act (Zaoui v Attorney-General, unreported, McGrath, Hammond and O’Regan JJ, Court of Appeal, 17 September 2004, CA166/04, paragraph 5) that allows for “persons....

		That incident had a background of rival intelligence agents from Taiwan and the PRC offering sweetners under and over the table to various officials in the Papua New Guinea Cabinet.

		New Zealand Security Intelligence Service relies on very selective tip-offs from other agencies and have no idea of the magnitude of the Chinese operations throughout the past three years.

		But some intelligence community observers remain skeptical that foreign agencies are providing as much help as they could.
		Robert David Steele, a former CIA and Marine Corps intelligence officer who has been critical of the Bush administration's approach to spying, said there are several barriers to increased cooperation, including Europe's anger over the U.S. focus on Iraq over al-Qaida.
		Director George Tenet told the Senate intelligence committee last October that the volume of information his agency received in 1999 from U.S.-recruited foreign agents surpassed that from foreign spy services for the first time -- and that the trend has continued.

		But the evidence available to the public indicates that the SIS is continuing to monitor legitimate activities of New Zealanders.

		And, irrespective of the standing of the current Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security, that office has proved completely ineffectual in fulfilling its statutory purpose of providing the New Zealand public with a means of holding the SIS accountable for its actions.

		In a comprehensive report the RSAA concluded that he would be persecuted and at great risk of torture for reasons of his political opinion if returned to Algeria, and that there was no credible evidence that he has been involved in "terrorism" or serious crime, as had been alleged.
		Nevertheless Ahmed Zaoui remains in prison - and may be removed from New Zealand to a situation where he risks possible torture or death - on "national security" grounds, based on classified intelligence information to which neither he nor his counsel have access, and which cannot be challenged in a judicial process.
		He was held in solitary confinement in a maximum security prison for over ten months, and is now detained in Auckland Central Remand Prison, despite two reports documenting the effects of post-traumatic stress and recommending his removal from a prison environment.
