That our media should suddenly be alleging China conducted a cyber-attack on New Zealand’s parliament back in 2021, reportedly long known about by the GCSB but only now being revealed, looks like a desperate attempt to divert our attention from revelations “the GCSB facilitated a U.S. intelligence operation capable of supporting military actions for nearly a decade without the New Zealand government’s knowledge.”
As Mick Hall, the RNZ reporter fired for adding balance to news agency wire stories, writes; a report has revealed that a signals intelligence system embedded in the country’s Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) ran from 2012 to 2020 without ministerial knowledge or approval after a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in secret.
