Well, here's a little article from 2014...

The taxpayers in New Zealand are spending $103 million a year on intelligence as a kind of membership fee for the country to be part of the Five Eyes surveillance club together with the US, UK, Australia and Canada, a declassified report said.

The so-called ‘Murdoch Report’ from 2009 was made public on the request of the New Zealand Herald newspaper under the country’s Official Information Act.

And here's a tidbit on Oz…

Australian intelligence authorities accessed private internet data gathered by the US National Security Agency even more than their British counterparts over a 12-month period, according to a previously unreported document released by Edward Snowden.

The document relates to the NSA's PRISM program, which takes chunks of users' online activity directly from companies like Google.

In the 12 months to May 2012, Australia's electronic spy agency, the ASD, then known as DSD, produced 310 reports based on PRISM. The UK produced 197.

"Why do we have to wait until a chemical attack happens? Russia has been under sanctions by Western nations for a long time," he said.

"And yet, being under sanctions, I understand that all these Western countries tolerated a large number of intelligence officers."

Professor Azizian said he couldn't fathom how a country like the US could have let the officers operate for so long.

"We're talking 60 people from the US," he said.

"Are we saying the US tolerated 60 undeclared intelligence officers in the United States for all these years?"

(Must have been part of their plan)

'We don't have Russian undeclared intelligence officers here'

However, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the expulsions were of covert intelligence agents and she believed Russia had none in New Zealand.

"We have done a check in New Zealand. We don't have Russian undeclared intelligence officers here," she said. "If we did, we would expel them."

Ms Ardern's decision has been backed by National Leader, Simon Bridges.
