Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta says New Zealand is "uncomfortable" with invoking the Five Eyes to speak up on issues beyond intelligence matters. 

The Five Eyes alliance is a group of countries with similar backgrounds - the United States, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - that share security-related intelligence.

 Well that does it... she does not speak for this kiwi... and I am at polar ends of the spectrum...  The CCP have multiple times over stepped their bounds... The 7 dash line, the Uyghers, Taiwan, Covid-19 and WHO not co-operating, lying about everything, bullying the other countries,  the fishing fleet strip fishing in territorial waters of other countries.  The debacle in Hong Kong their Wolf tactics with their loans to poorer countries, and the list goes on and on...

I do not trust them, and we should not be trading with them.

This government has been woozled by the money and had the wool pulled over their eyes purely inexperience...

Police officers were justified in arresting a man who publicly criticised authorities after the Christchurch mosque shooting, with an independent investigation finding that wasn't the reason he was arrested.

The man was arrested after police received information he was in possession of a military-style semi-automatic firearm on March 17, 2019 - two days after the Christchurch terror attack.

The United States on Thursday imposed a broad array of sanctions on Russia, including curbs to its sovereign debt market, to punish it for interfering in last year's US election, cyber-hacking, bullying Ukraine and other alleged "malign" actions.

The US government blacklisted Russian companies, expelled Russian diplomats and barred US banks from buying sovereign bonds from Russia's central bank, national wealth fund and finance ministry. Washington also warned the Kremlin that more penalties were possible though the United States said it did not want to escalate.
