New Zealand Prime Minister John Key appeared before the press in Dunedin Tuesday and said he would not rule out the possibility that the American intelligence agency NSA is conducting mass surveillance on New Zealanders but rejected claims that Kiwi spies have access to such information.
Key also shot down claims made by both Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald Monday that the NSA had sites operating in the country but he declined to answer questions about the data collection programme X-Keyscore, citing national security concerns.
