Legislation updating security intelligence laws has been reported back from select committee with some minor changes.
The New Zealand Security Intelligence Service Amendment Bill updates the law to deal with the monitoring and interception of emails, text messages and other computer data.
The committee recommends adding a reference to human rights and another to require the destruction of irrelevant tracking records once a warrant expires.
The Green Party opposes the progression of the bill past select committee, saying that the SIS operates without adequate oversight or accountability.
The bill will now return to Parliament for further debate.
