彼德邓无法让人们对国安部门重拾信心

约翰基最后一刻和彼德邓达成交易,确保后者的一票能保GCSB国安法案顺利过关,但这么做也不能让新西兰公众恢复对本国国安部门的信心。
工党领袖大卫谢尔就指出:现政府从来也没法对延伸国安部门权力作出有说服力的解释,工党也不会支持现有表述下的法案。
7月22日宣布的这些改变远远不够。这只是总理和彼德邓之间玩的政治把戏,为的是让约翰基可以摆脱GCSB丑闻和Kim Dotcom案带来的负面影响。
一个将影响到新西兰人隐私及安全的法案是绝对不应当被通过的。
大多数新西兰人希望在新法案草拟之前先要对我国的安保部门进行审查,人权委员会、律师公会和隐私委员会也持相同意见,但约翰基对民意采取蛮横无视的态度。
基现在提议等到2015年再对国安部门进行审查――那时已经是大选之后了。这叫作本末倒置。本来应当先进行质询审查,如此才能从一开始就保证立法的正确性。
不幸的是约翰基根本就不听从新西兰民意。又一次,他表现出自已是多么脱离现实。正是因为他想匆忙通过这个法案,这位总理已经错过一个置新西兰国安部门于一流立法保护之下的良机。(工党领袖大卫谢尔授权,惠灵顿国会大厦。霍建强议员办公室 供稿)

Labour Leader
22 July 2013 MEDIA STATEMENT
Dunne deal won’t restore confidence in GCSB
John Key’s last minute deal with Peter Dunne to secure a one vote majority for the GCSB bill won’t be enough to restore public confidence in New Zealand’s spy agencies, says the Labour Leader David Shearer.
“The government has never made the case for extending the GCSB’s powers, and Labour cannot support this legislation as it stands.
“The changes announced today do not go nearly far enough. This is a political jack-up between the Prime Minister and Peter Dunne, designed to allow John Key to try to put his botched handling of the GCSB and the Kim Dotcom case behind him.
“This is no way to write and pass a piece of law that will affect the privacy and security of all New Zealanders.
“John Key has ridden rough-shod over the views of the majority of New Zealanders who want an independent review of our intelligence agencies to be held before the drafting of new law. That’s a view also shared by the Human Rights Commission, the Law Society and the Privacy Commission.
“Instead, Mr Key is now proposing to hold a review in 2015 – conveniently after the election. Well that is just putting the cart ahead of the horse. The inquiry should come first, so that we can get the legislation right first time.
“But unfortunately John Key was not listening to New Zealanders. Once again he has shown just how out of touch he is. The Prime Minister has missed out on the opportunity to get world-class legislation covering all of our intelligence agencies, because he wanted to get this bill across the line quickly,” says David Shearer.
