GCSB Business Cases produced over the last 10 years

B M made this Official Information request to Government Communications Security Bureau

The request was partially successful.

From: B M

Dear Government Communications Security Bureau,

I would like to submit a request for the following information under the Official Information Act:

- All Cabinet papers relating to GCSB 'business case' propositions that were prepared within the last 10 years.

I would like to reference Prime Minister Key's recent declassification of Cabinet papers regarding Operation CORTEX. This effectively serves as a precedent, as the Prime Minister has shown that the declassification of GCSB business cases relating to specific cyber intelligence operations will not likely "prejudice the security or defence of New Zealand or the international relations of the Government of New Zealand."

Yours faithfully,
[B M]
