After his own hit minister was reportedly intercepted sexual employees without their consent, New Zealand’s prime minister on Thursday floated new privacy laws. After a local news outlet claimed he secretly recorded audio of sexual encounters with sex workers and quietly photographed people at the gym, top aide Michael Forbes resigned. Although it was unclear whether Forbes had broken the law, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said he was” shocked.” He told investigators on Thursday that if you’re a New Zealander, you can legitimately inquire about how this behavior occurs, and whether it’s legal or illegal. ” I have that same effect to it as well,” I said. To clear up the constitutional gray area, Luxon suggested that new privacy rules might be drafted. Luxon’s assistant chief press secretary, Forbes, apologized in a statement sent to the internet. He said,” I want to make the women I have harmed my deepest pologies.”
