Oh the hilarity of the fire that can’t be extinguished until all the fuel burns:

Asked about the possibility of earlier spying, a spokeswoman said the Prime Minister had sought and received "a fresh assurance" the GCSB and Security Intelligence Service had not carried out any surveillance before December 16.
Green co-leader Russel Norman said it could not be ruled out.
He said a commission of inquiry was needed to examine the behaviour of the GCSB.
He said it could be conducted in secrecy with sensitive material excised from a final public report.
Mr Norman highlighted the Echelon of Five Eyes agreement where the GCSB worked with intelligence agencies from the US, Australia, Canada and the UK.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged whereas in an unlawful action of fhe state coupled with a Prime Minister who suffers from brain fade and a lack of a good mental facility, then it must surely follow an inquiry is warranted.”

Sarcasm, being sarky is not necessarily vicious, it can be quite endearing as portrayed in the relationship between Rodney and Del Boy on "Only Fools and Horses".
The lack of irony stems from the incredulous political environment leaving the nation satirically exhausted such that the appetite for the “ironque” is diminished.

A likely outcome of a Commission of Inquiry, depending on the terms of reference, could be that it discovers under both National and Labour Govts there has been surveillance of NZ Residents/Citizens that have been illegal.
It is not outside the realms of possibility both Labour and National there could have cause for considerable embarrassment.
Another angle to consider is the possibility of spying by the United States on persons and organisation in NZ, with the NZ Police and GCSB only becoming involved when the United States wanted an arrest and extradition.
With the turn of world events The United States and the NZ have a more co-operative (security) relationship. The United States may no longer feel the need to spy on “us” particularly after the way we behaved on the KDC Saga – the NZ govt going out of it’s way to essentially carelessly shaft itself.
This following article has always been of interest:

It would be interesting if the CIA originally kicked of the KDC surveillance and the case was later handed to the FBI to involve the NZ govt (Prime Minister Office, the Police and GCSB).
Transparency is after all an illusion.

Legal Beagle: Kim Dotcom: We need an Inquiry!, in reply to Idiot Savant,
That is for the Polie - what about for the FBI?
You only involve the Police when you want to make a song and dance about arresting someone.
Not all survelliance would involve the police, not all survelliance activity would not be of local origin.

no written briefing provided
Par for the course when dealing with a situation you want to progress but don't want to come back at you.

Legal Beagle: Kim Dotcom: Questions and Answers, in reply to Ross Mason,
Those are not the dots that I would be looking at - a more dometic scenario would seems more relevant having regard to the steaming mound of local implausible untruth that surrounds every turn of the Kim Dot Com Saga..
