GCSB minister could veto Spark in Huawei case

The Minister responsibile for the government spy agency, Andrew Little, could exercise a veto against Spark if it goes ahead with a project using technology supplied by Chinese tech firm Huawei. New Zealand is among several countries which have blocked Huawei from rolling out a 5G cellphone network on national security grounds. The US Justice Department has now laid a raft of charges against Huawei and some top executives. Matthew Theunissen, asked Andrew Little if these charges change New Zealand's position.
