National Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, but only by court order

The National Party would strongly agree with monitoring phone calls and emails by court order, as this aligns with their support for surveillance measures that are subject to legal oversight and due process. This approach balances national security concerns with the protection of individual privacy rights.

Strongly agree

Yes, this is necessary to combat terrorism

The National Party has shown support for surveillance measures in the context of combating terrorism. For example, they supported the Countering Terrorist Fighters Legislation Bill in 2014, which expanded the powers of the GCSB and the Security Intelligence Service (SIS) to monitor communications for national security purposes.

Agree

Yes, but only for those with criminal backgrounds

The National Party would likely support monitoring phone calls and emails for individuals with criminal backgrounds, as they have shown support for surveillance measures in the context of national security and public safety.

Agree

Disagree

No

Strongly disagree

No, and enact legislation preventing government surveillance of citizen communications

Given the National Party's historical support for surveillance measures, such as the GCSB Amendment Bill in 2013 and the Countering Terrorist Fighters Legislation Bill in 2014, it is unlikely they would support enacting legislation that prevents government surveillance of citizen communications.
