Last year, the Five Eyes discussed cooperation beyond intelligence sharing, including on critical technology, Hong Kong, supply chains and the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a statement by Australia's Foreign Minister Marise Payne in 2020.

New Zealand is lost....just as surely as San Francisco is lost.
US law forbade our spy agencies from spying on Americans at home. The CIA hired the Brits and commonwealths to do it for them and to hand them the information. Then they pretend it came from a foreign source.
Blatantly criminal.
Rule of Law is out the window. The government protects some people and victimizes other people.
Yep.
That’s fine. I will give them New Zealand to keep Taiwan any day, every day, all day long!
A freeper did this post....
Covfefe... Covert Five Eyes, Five Eyes.

Gone.

Once upon a time it was because we all had an ethnic connection - 90% Anglo-Saxon Protestant populations.
Those days are GONE.

Trust me...NZ contributes exactly ZERO to the intel folks. The Aussies, however have their shiite together!

Yup. Nations exchanging the captured electronic communications of other nations for their own citizen’s communications to “bypass” the laws against spying on their own citizens.
Freegards
New Zealand says ‘uncomfortable’ with expanding Five Eyes”
I am too with Biden and the democrats in charge of things.
Our society now tends to vote in the stupidest people possible who immediately do what stupid people do with so much power. It is actually a mental illness both ways.
I’m far more inclined to think depravity than stupidity.
