Closure of Shelley Beach Off-ramp with Lanes 1 & 2 of Auckland Harbour Bridge

The NZ Transport Agency advises drivers that the Southbound clip-on lanes on the Auckland Harbour Bridge (State Highway 1) and the Shelley Beach Road Off-ramp will be closed Sunday night, 17 February for urgent surfacing repair work.

To minimise disruption to drivers, the NZTA will carry out repairs between 9pm and 5am when traffic is at its lightest.

The NZTA will have detours in place via Fanshawe St, and drivers are asked to follow the signposted routes.

Northbound lanes on the motorway are not affected by the closure.

The NZTA thanks motorists for their patience and apologises for any inconvenience while this important work is carried out.

Arguably Reassuring: Inspector-General Finds GCSB "Arguably" Legal

Of the 88 individuals:

• 15 cases involving 22 individuals did not have any information intercepted by GCSB.

• another four cases involving five individuals were the subjects of a New Zealand Security Intelligence Service warrant and the GCSB assisted in the execution of the warrants. The Inspector-General is of the view that there were arguably no breaches and the law is unclear.

• the Bureau only provided technical assistance which did not involve interception of communications, involving three of the individuals, so no breach occurred.

• the remaining cases involved the collection of metadata, and the Inspector-General formed the view that there had arguably been no breach, noting once again that the law is unclear.
