John Key has accused US journalist Glenn Greenwald of acting against New Zealand’s interests after Mr Greenwald said he would release details of New Zealand spying on its allies before a United Nations vote is taken on NZ’s bid for a Security Council seat.
Mr Greenwald has claimed he will reveal details of spying by New Zealand’s foreign intelligence agency, the GCSB, on some of NZ’s neighbours and allies in the lead up to the final vote on the Security Council in October.
New Zealand has been campaigning for the past seven years for a two-year term on the council.
