Snowden might have dirt on GCSB spying
PARLIAMENT - It is thought that it is only a matter of time before United States whistleblower Edward Snowden releases dirt on New Zealand's spies.
Prime Minister John Key concedes there is a high chance Snowden has intelligence on the GCSB's activities.
"He has a massive amount of data from what we can see, and we're a part of the Five Eyes so it's highly likely he's got information that's related to New Zealand.
"In the end, if he does and he releases it, we'll deal with it in due course."
Snowden's revelations about the US and Australian spy agencies snooping on other world leaders have had hard-hitting ramifications for those countries' international ties.
