Good afternoon,

 

With respect to your request below, New Zealand Defence Intelligence is
only responsible for the direction and coordination of the New Zealand
Defence Force's intelligence activities.

 

The matters for which you are requesting information are more closely
related to the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS). While
this response is notifying you of a transfer of your request to the NZSIS
in accordance with section 14 of the Official Information Act 1982, it is
noted that you have already made the same request to that agency.

 

Regards

 

Corporate and Ministerial Services

OCDF, Office of Chief of Defence Force

Subject: Re: Official Information request - Child protection and the Five
Eyes

 

 

Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

 

Apologies- I confused two organizations with similar goals but different
membership in my original request. Please take the following as an amended
request:

"I understand that the Directorate of Defence Intelligence and Security, a
constituent part of the Defense Force, is involved in 'Five Eyes'
collaboration activities with a number of imperial powers. Two weeks ago,
the book 'The Secret History of the Five Eyes' exposed that the Canadian
Security Intelligence Service, one of your counterparts, had been involved
in trafficking young girls into Syria to be used by the ISIS terrorist
organization for sex, in support of the war against the Syrian government
there.

 

1) Britain, like New Zealand, is part of the 'Five Eyes' group that is
supposed to enhance our national security, which one assumes includes
protecting young girls against rape, but this does not seem to have
protected their citizens from victimization from the group. Is the DDIS
aware of any assurances New Zealand has received that CSIS, or other
elements of the Five Eyes, will not send 15 year old New Zealand girls to
be raped by takfiri terrorists, as they did British girls?

 

It has come to light that the 'Five Eyes' organization has been holding a
'gathering'/conference/meeting in New Zealand this month to advance its
goals. This raises obvious concerns-

2a) What vetting has been conducted on foreigners attending this
conference? In particular, have CSIS representatives been assessed to
ensure they have not been involved in sex crimes or the trafficking of
young girls for sex, as many have been revealed to have?

2b) What arrangements are in place to protect New Zealanders from those
attending the conference? Are those attending the conference confined to
the Millbrook Resort, or will they be allowed to roam the community at
large? Has DDIS checked whether the Millbrook Resort employs anyone under
the age of 18 who might be targeted by those attending the conference?

2c) Please detail other security arrangements around this conference."

 

Regards,

Mohammed Khan
