So is it mostly about French territories ? I don't think that the Vanuatu or the Fiji are a huge threat on the global scale.



Fiji has had a series of military coups in recent times. Of course NZ (and others) monitor them.


By all means, if New Zealand is worried about Fiji military coups, then it's the duty of New Zealand's intelligence service to monitor the Fiji military.

The problem isn't that some nation is spying on some other nation, it's a problem of scale and scope. Fearing a military coup does not warrant "intercepting and storing content and metadata of all communications" happening on that island.


The "of course" argument can go home these days, seriously.
