I dare someone to repost this on reddit. You'll be looking at a permanent suspension from the NZ group!
I just read the attached link, not the bill. But this looks every easy to abuse.
No doubt it will be abused, but I will find ways around it. Receiving news from state-sponsored media isn't interference - I actively subscribe to it. A lot of Chinese people watch satellite channels, and I don't think the government is going to start jamming them any time soon. State media gives people the knowledge of what those governments think, and people can act on that information independently.
Reminds me of the 2015 film "The 5th Eye"
From imdb:
A priest, a teacher and a farmer breach the security of a NZ spy base in Waihopai and deflate a satellite dish dome to draw attention to NZ co-operation with illegal US wars. The extent and implications of mass government surveillance.
See the trailer at NZ On Screen.
I met Sam Land right after he did it. I was 17 at the time. I actually went more toward the right as I aged. But I still follow some left wing newsletters.
Kia ora and welcome to the NZ Politics community!
