The PM refers to a document that he is holding that reads 'NZ SIS Amendment Bill'. Refers to the pushing through a Bill to enhance the powers of the SIS. PM John Key says the overhaul of the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service Act (1969) will "...make the operation of the New Zealand SIS more effective and efficient....But for reasons of national security, I don't want to detail what those are." The Bill is being pushed through against the advice of the Privacy Commissioner in the name of 'National Security', and in the build-up to the Rugby World Cup.

Description: Shows Prime Minister John Key as a secret agent in an advertisement for a film 'directed by Peter Jackson with special effects by Much Wetter Workshops'. The film is called '003 1/2 in From Rugby with Shove' which is 'Coming to a stadium near you...' John Key says 'Trust me, you'll be shaken not stirred!' Additional text reads 'Fresh from a secret meeting to increase the power of the SIS, John Key is agent..' The secret agent holds a gun with which he shoots a rugby ball. In the top right corner an All Black does a haka. Refers to the news that Parliament's Security and Intelligence Committee will hear public submissions in secret on a bill that strengthens the laws covering the Security Intelligence Service (SIS). Mr Key said that for reasons of national security he did not intend going into detail on why the SIS needed the legislative update, but next year's Rugby World Cup was one of them. The Green Party said the Rugby World Cup was being used as an excuse to extend SIS powers. "The main security problem for the World Cup will be drunken fans, which is best dealt with by restricting the supply of alcohol, not restricting our civil liberties," said MP Keith Locke.
