Hi neighbours,

Three tools have been trialled or used by Police to search publicly available information during investigations, but they will not reveal which ones.

Some of these have sparked controversy overseas, including one tool that was used to track Black Lives Matter protesters or monitor electronic chatter.

Police Commissioner Andrew Coster has defended using these digital tools, and faced criticism for it, with digital rights groups worried online surveillance is escalating.

Auckland technologist Andrew Chen has argued police need to more transparent when deploying a tool and its justification.

Police said the 2020 stocktake was a "snapshot" only and was only revealing what it could to build public confidence.

Far North District Council will hold a live, online forum on Tuesday, 8 June, to address concerns and questions landowners have about Significant Natural Areas (SNAs) and their role in the draft District Plan.
The forum will be broadcast live on the council’s YouTube channel and will include Māori landowners, and farming and community representatives.
Spokesman Darren Edwards says the aim is to reach as many people as possible before the landowner feedback period on Significant Natural Areas (SNAs) closes on June 11.
“Our goal for the online forum is to give as many people as possible an opportunity to learn more about why council is introducing SNAs, to listen to a range of views and to ask their own questions.”
The two-hour event will air from 1.30pm.
