The following is attributable to Cheryl Gwyn, Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security:
“As part of my role as Inspector-General, I review whether the GCSB complies with the restrictions upon interception of
New Zealanders’ communications and with the requirement to intercept communications only for authorised purposes. That
review is ongoing.
I am only able to comment on specific GCSB activities through my annual and inquiry reports. However, I can advise that
I have not identified any indiscriminate interception of New Zealanders’ data in my work to date. I will continue to
monitor these issues.”
Ms Gwyn will not be conducting interviews on this issue.
