1. PM's adviser may testify at spy inquiry
Tr acy Watkins/ D omini on P os t
prime Minister John Key could be dragged further into a widening contoversy over the strveillance of a
journalist after confirming he would notblock his top adviser from giving evidence to a high-powered
iarliamentary inquiry. It emerged yesterday Mr Key's chief of stafl Wayne Eagleson, intervened after
irarliamentary Service ofEciali initially refused to hand over information to.a ministerial inquiry.
parliament'. irrinil.g.s Committee has launched an investigation after revelations that swipe card, landline

Henry inquiry, set up to find out who leakeA a confidential report on the Government Communications
Security Bureau.
2, GCSB saga becoming National's version of hell
Claire Trevett /NZ Herald
There have been more plot twists in the saga of the GCSB, the leak to Fairfax reporter Andrea Vance and
the parliamentary Service than in Game of Thrones. Let us hit the live pause button to sum it up. Once upon
a time there was an inquiry into the spy agency the Government Communications Security Bureau. Then
I

there was an inquiry into the inquiry after the first inquiry was leaked to Vance in advance. Nowthere is yet
another inquiry, by Parliament's privileges committee, into the issues thrown up by the second inquiry,
which was ttre inquiry into the inquiry. It is the Green Party's version of utopia. But it is rapidly becoming
the Government's version of hell.

Violation speaks ill of our democracy
John Armstrong /M Herald
That someone working for Padiamentary Service could consider it okay to release the private phone records
of a Press Gallery joumalist to an inquiry sanctioned by the Prime Minister tuly beggars belief. It certainly
gives new meaning to the word "servicE" in the bureaucracy which runs the padiamentary complex and
iooks after MPs' needs. It also speaks of something very sick and rotten at the heart of the country's
democracy. Whetherthe release was motivated by matice or ignorance, it adds up to a fundamental breach
of press rights. It is to be hoped that the book is thrown at the culprit or culprits - preferably the one written
by Edmund Burke who spelled out the role of the Fourth Estate more than two centuries ago.

Key terror claims under fire
O ClaireTra'ett/NZHerald
The Government intensified its sales job on the GCSB Bill yesterday, with the Prime Minister claiming
some New Zealand citizens have had al-Qaeda training in Yemen. The bill passed its second reading
yesterday by 61-59 as the Government tied to dampen concerns over the powers it grants to the GCSB to
spy on behalf of other agencies, and spy on New Zealanders in the interests of cyber security. It is expected
to go through its final stages next week, when the amendments to tighten oversight that MP Peter Dunne
secured in return for his support will be intoduced.

Sights set on PMrs top adviser
TMCY WATKINS/M Herald
The parliamentary phone records scandal has claimed its first scalp, but there are calls for more heads to
roll. Parliamentary Service general manager Geoff Thorn yesterday fell on his sword after Speaker David
Carter was misled about Fairfax journalist Andrea Vance's phone records, including calls to her cellphone,
being handed over to the so-called Henry inqurry. He accepted Thorn's resignation because confidence in
Parliamentary Service had been undermined by events in recent weeks, Carter said.

An expatriate in Germany
Dominion Post
People come from all over to visit Dusseldod says Clare Mosley.
Why did you move to Germany?
I moved to Dusseldorf in September 2010 to become an au pair (a live-in nanny) for a German family. The
family lived in Monchengladbach, about half an hour away, but after I finished my au pair year, I moved
into Dusseldorf permanently.
What do you do there?
I started work as a freelance English teacher, in conjunction with a local language school. English is
exfremely important here and children begin to learn English in their second or third year of school. Most of
my students are adults learning business English.

Nelson's Celtic Pipe Band is to play in Germany. Pipe Major Bryce Gilchrist said the band would play in six
cities in January following an invitation to be part of the annual Musikparade. It was a fantastic opportunity
and would be the band's first overseas trip. The band's acceptance of the invitation comes as it prepares to
fnarch onto the stage at Nelson's Theatre Royal on Saturday night to perform Braveheart.

Key terror claims under fire
Cl a i re T revett/NZ H e rald
The Government intensified its sates job on the GCSB Bill yesterday, with the Prime
Minister claiming some New Zealand citizens have had al-Qaeda training in Yemen.
The bill passed its second reading yesterday by 61-59 as the Government tried to
dampen concerns over the powers it grants to the GCSB to spy on behalf of other
agencies, and spy on New Zealanders in the interests of cyber security. lt is expected
to go through its flnal stages next week, when the amendments to tighten oversight
that MP Peter Dunne secured in return for his support will be introduced.
ln an apparent bid to emphasise the need for effective spy agencies, Mr Key
yesterday said on More FM that some New Zealanders had travelled to Yemen to
attend al-Qaeda camps and were under surveillance. He refused to give further
details but, asked later in the day, said he had signed warrants for surveillance of "a
small numbe/'of people who were in Yemen. "Some of them are still off-shore and
some are in New Zealand. "The fact someone might have a link might be the sort of
reason the Government raises a warrant to observe their behaviour. lt doesn't
necessarily mean they've broken the law at this point."
Labour leader David Shearer said Mr Key was scaremongering, but refused to say
whether he had also been briefed about al-Qaeda links. "l can't really see his point.
I
think it's yet another one of those episodes when John Key is in a hole, he brings out
the weapons of mass distraction." Mr Key said much of the opposition to the bill was
misinformed. "People can't have it both ways. They can't say potentially there is a
risk which we need to monitor, and then say we don't want you monitoring anyone."
Attorney General Chis Finlayson made it clear in his speech to Parliament that the
GCSB would require a warrant to collect metadata in the same way as any other data.
Metadata is basic phone and internet logs, and some submitters had raised concerns
that a grey area meant the GCSB had the power to harvest phone logs in bulk, as in
Britain under the Prism programme.
Opposition MPs also attacked Peter Dunne for his support of the bill after initially
opposing it. Labour's Phil Goff said the Government was rushing it through despite
warnings from the privacy and human rights commissioners. "This Government is
relying on two discredited MPs to pass legislation that we should be very cautious
about." Mr Finlayson said much of the criticism of the bill had been "misinformed". He
said national security was vital for maintaining freedoms and keeping a country safe.
But equally national security legislation must not have grey areas of uncertainty or
doubtful interpretation that allow the state to gradually extend its activities and creep
into ordinary people's private lives like some growing shadow." The billwas written

after the Kitteridge report found 88 cases in which the agency might have spied
unlawfully on New Zealanders on behalf of agencies such as the police and SlS.

Sights set on PM's top adviser
TRACY WATKI N S/I{Z Herald
The parliamentary phone records scandal has claimed its first scalp, but there are
calls for more heads to roll. Parliamentary Service general manager Geoff Thorn
yesterday fell on his sword after Speaker David Carter was misled about Fairfax
journalist Andrea Vance's phone records, including calls to her cellphone, being
handed over to the so-called Henry inquiry. He accepted Thorn's resignation because
confidence in Parliamentary Service had been undermined by events in recent weeks,
Carter said.
Opposition MPs are now calling for the head of Prime Minister John Key's chief of
staff, Wayne Eagleson, and claim pressure from the prime ministe/s office led to the
records being handed over. NZ First leader Winston Peters said Thorn was a
scapegoat and questioned if his resignation meant he would not give evidence to an
inquiry launched by Parliament's Privileges Committee into how Vance's records
came to be handed over. Attorney-General Chris Finlayson, who heads the Privileges
Committee, yesterday suggested Thorn's departure would not stop them calling him
to give evidence.
His evidence is crucial to finding out the extent to which discussions with Eagleson
influenced the decision to hand over Vance's phone and swipe-card records. The
swipe-card records enabled the inquiry to track her movefients around the
parliamentary precinct after being asked by Key to flnd out who leaked a report on
the Government Communications Security Bureau to her. The inquiry also sought
details of contact between ministers and Vance on her landline and cellphone and, in
return, received call logs detailing hundreds of internal parliamentary calls to and
from her phone, and calls to her cellphone over a three-month period.
Carter said this week those records were supplied "inadvertently" and were returned
immediately by the Henry inquiry with a note that they were not interested in seeing
them. But no-one has taken responsibility for authorising the release of the records.
The emergence of an emai! from Eagleson to Thorn has thrown the spotlight on the
role played by the prime minister's office. Key has confirmed Eagleson intervened
after Parliamentary Service initially refused requests from the inquiry for some
records.
ln an email to Thorn, Eagleson made it clear the prime minister wished Parliamentary
Service to hand over records relating to a named list of ministers and other material.
But Key said there was never any suggestion that Vance's records should be handed
over and Parliamentary Service had been wrong to give them to the Henry inquiry.
The Government respected the freedom of the press. Key said yesterday that
Eagleson had nothing to hide and would appear to give evidence to the Privileges
Committee if it asked. "None of us lost any sleep about that last night," Key said. He
also dismissed Vance's claim the Government had a casual disregard for the media's
role and a contempt for the press as "complete and utter nonsense".
