From Morning Report, 7:45 am on 29 March 2021

A prominent academic is calling for greater protection for Chinese New Zealanders in light of a recent security report.

A New Zealand Security Intelligence Service report has revealed a New Zealander has been gathering information for a foreign intelligence agency on people the foreign state sees as dissidents.

While the service has not revealed the name of the foreign state, Professor Anne-Marie Brady says it's likely to be China.
