在新西兰
约翰基终于承认副总理比尔英格里希早在1个月以前就已签发批准监视Dotcom，却没有将此事告诉总理――此事暴露出现政府的最高领导层并不是一条心。 工党领袖大卫·谢尔指出：政府现在一心在求人相信比尔·英格里

工党领袖大卫·谢尔指出：政府现在一心在求人相信比尔·英格里希当时只是以为基总理身在海外则不必劳神向后者汇报，可以等到总理回来时再报，或者等到总理就此案召开新闻发布会之前的内阁会议上才和他提这件事。
据约翰基的说法，他是直到昨天晚上才从他的情报部门GCSB知悉此事。
那么为什么比尔·英格里希不向总理通报？他能给出的唯一借口是他看也没看就在监视令上签字了，或者他记不清了，要不就是存心把他的大老板晾在一边。
约翰基说其实诸如此类的事不受专属权限制很正常。但是这无法解释为什么在签署级别如此之高、动用到国家间谍机构并会潜在影响到我国与美国关系的高度政治敏感文件时，比尔·英格里希竟没有知会他的上司。
Dotcom案间谍丑闻败露也暴露出政府最高领导层的失职与无能。作为负责政府安全情报的总头目，约翰基难辞其咎。（霍建强议员办公室供稿）

Spy debacle exposes chaos in the Beehive
The incompetence of the top echelon of this Government has been exposed by John Key’s admission that his own deputy didn’t tell him he’d signed a ministerial certificate a month ago related to spies snooping on Dotcom, says Labour Leader David Shearer.
“It beggars belief that Bill English didn’t think it was worth ringing John Key about it when he was overseas, telling him about it on his return or mentioning it in Cabinet yesterday before the Prime Minister gave a press conference about the issue.
“According to John Key, he only found out about it last night when his spy agency GCSB informed him.
“Why didn’t Bill English tell him? His only excuse can be that he doesn’t read what he signs, his memory has failed him or he simply wanted to hang his boss out to dry.
“John Key says it’s quite normal for these issues not to be in the public domain. But that doesn’t explain why Bill English failed to inform his own leader that he signed a document related to a high-profile, politically sensitive case involving the country’s spy agency and potentially affecting our relationship with the United States.
