Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says overseas noise about comments made by Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta is unnecessary after UK media claimed the Five Eyes had become a group of four.

Laying out New Zealand's perspective on its relationship with China, Mahuta said in a speech on Monday there were some matters in which the two countries "do not, cannot and will not agree", before pinpointing concerns with Beijing's interference in Hong Kong's democracy and the treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang.

Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta says New Zealand is "uncomfortable" with invoking the Five Eyes to speak up on issues beyond intelligence matters. 

The Five Eyes alliance is a group of countries with similar backgrounds - the United States, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - that share security-related intelligence.

 Well that does it... she does not speak for this kiwi... and I am at polar ends of the spectrum...  The CCP have multiple times over stepped their bounds... The 7 dash line, the Uyghers, Taiwan, Covid-19 and WHO not co-operating, lying about everything, bullying the other countries,  the fishing fleet strip fishing in territorial waters of other countries.  The debacle in Hong Kong their Wolf tactics with their loans to poorer countries, and the list goes on and on...

I do not trust them, and we should not be trading with them.

This government has been woozled by the money and had the wool pulled over their eyes purely inexperience...

Police officers were justified in arresting a man who publicly criticised authorities after the Christchurch mosque shooting, with an independent investigation finding that wasn't the reason he was arrested.

The man was arrested after police received information he was in possession of a military-style semi-automatic firearm on March 17, 2019 - two days after the Christchurch terror attack.
