New Zealand denies the spying was not within the description as described by journalists.

Keys brings the idea the term "Full Take" has a legal definition that does not involve unlawful invasion into citizen's privacy. But, he did say New Zealand was spying. It is the same definition the USA uses. No spying on citizens, but, only those offshore to other destinations. Well, heck if every country is doing this that means the majority of the time everyone is under surveillance by every country involved other than their own. What's the difference?

John Key (click here) says new claims around intelligence collection are wrong - but he won't say why.
He also says the GCSB is acting legally - but won't say how.
And he says we are spying - but won't say on who.
The Prime Minister has fronted media after a day of controversy caused by the publication of documents taken by whistleblower Edward Snowden while a contractor for the United States' National Security Agency.
He refused to talk in specifics but said: "Some of the information was incorrect, some of the information was out of date, some of the assumptions made were just plain wrong."
The documents were published in the Herald today in a collaborative reporting effort with investigative journalist Nicky Hager and the US news site The Intercept, which has access to the Snowden documents....

That is the New Zealand spying facility. It could provide free internet to the entire of New Zealand when the spying agency is shut down.

...The surveillance, (click here) reported Wednesday by the New Zealand Herald in collaboration with The Intercept, is being carried out by GCSB from an intelligence base in New Zealand’s Waihopai Valley (pictured above). Intercepted data collected at the Waihopai site is being shared through an NSA surveillance system called XKEYSCORE, which is used to analyze vast amounts of emails, internet browsing sessions and online chats that are intercepted from some 150 different locations worldwide.
The documents on the spying, obtained by The Intercept from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, shine a light on New Zealand’s role in the so-called Five Eyes, a surveillance alliance that includes electronic eavesdropping agencies from New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia....

I wonder if the NSA caught Hillary's emails in it's net?
