A question for the Bradbury Group Panel tonight
‘israel is America’s cherised freind and partner.
Is Israel New Zealand’s cherished friend and partner?
The Shin Bet is Israel’s version of the FBI.
If the Shin Bet wanted to open up shop in New Zeaalnd, do the panel think the current government would object?

Green MP Teanau Tuiono was strongly against the FBI’s presence in New Zealand and its potential impact on foreign policy.
“We are not another state of the United States; we shouldn’t be allowing foreign powers to be setting up shop like this.”
Labour’s Carmel Sepuloni said she wanted more information, saying the news had come as a surprise.
Does anyone on the panel want to take a stab at what the Labour Party’s position on the FBI base might be when they get that information?
When will Carmel Sepuloni receive the information she said she wanted for Labour to have a position?
