Reminder: Greens want to abolish the GCSB

Radio NZ reports:

One of New Zealand’s spy agencies has revealed it helped prevent three recent domestic terror attacks by identifying people who made threats.

The information was shared at Parliament’s Intelligence and Security committee this morning.

Government Communications Security Bureau director-general Andrew Hampton told MPs one operation involved an ideologically motivated individual making bomb threats.

The other two involved a white supremacist who was displaying concerning behaviour online and another who threatened to use firearms and explosives at a public event.

“In all three operations, the GCSB was able to combine lead information from other agencies with our unique technical capabilities to help identify the individuals who had each taken great care to anonymise themselves online.”

Thank you GCSB.

A reminder that Green Party policy is to abolish the GCSB. For a party that goes on about the evils of white supremacy so much, it is fascinating that their policy is to prevent the GCSB from stopping them commit acts of violence.
