Here's the PM of NZ on the GCSB bill that allowed sweeping powers for the NZ spy agency (under his control) [1].

"All they can do is protect you, so it's against malware or a virus. ... On your computer at home you almost certainly have Norton Antivirus...that is exactly what that is, at a much higher level."

And the good people of NZ decided they didn't mind. Because. I don't know. I give up. It's like the world is determined to make a mess of itself.

Along with the items already noted, it's also pretty small and I'm not sure how many immigrants they accept though I think there's something about Commonwealth nations and immigration that might help.
