Hard News by Russell Brown

Making global news for the wrong reasons (again)...

* Russia Today: 'RIP privacy': New Zealand govt passes NSA-style snooping bill
* Beeb: New Zealand extends domestic spying powers
* Int'l Biz Times: New Zealand's GCSB Bill Passes Into Law, PM John Key Ignores Journalist's Question and Walks Out

Passed. Plan B, vote out the government.

Yes indeedy, where's my chequebook ....

Eh,

Remind anybody of anyone with a Key personality disorder.

Where the thing is going/has been.

The bill passed on Wed evening. By 7.45 am the next morning on my way to work, I saw in massive letters on the footpath outside National list MP Michael Woodhouse's office this graffito: JOHN KEY IS BIG BROTHER.
