"natural law"
Not that crap again. Didn't Russell have to ban someone a while back who was dead keen on that angle?

The emails were not obtained unlawfully
Wrong. Accessing a computer system without authorisation is illegal under NZ law. Public interest comes into whether publishing the results is legal or not. Please do some reading.

Not sure if anyone posted this earlier, but there's a brilliant gonzo stream of consciousness about last week's first leg of the trial by Steve Braunias on Metro magazine's website.
It wasn’t a very firm blow but he had hit the nail on the head. The issue was to determine what was greater and more serious – the crime of hacking, or the public’s right to know what the emails revealed? It’s the exact same classic moral, philosophical, ethical, legal, and political dilemma which swirls around Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.
Justice Fogarty listened intently. A handsome man, with a trim figure and long limbs, he had let his grey hair grow wild, over his ears, down his neck, rising above his head in a bouffant. Rock’n’roll Fogarty! Ageing hipster, sensual, lascivious.
But there were signs of trouble. He asked Miles to stop talking. He placed his hands over his face. Silence reigned in courtroom seven. Penny Bright rolled her eyes. Fogarty snapped out of his trance, and said, “I’m just trying to get my head around it.”

Key probably imagines compensating every farmer for lost future herd increases or some such nonsense. Just like handing them public money to fence their stream boundaries.
