Horsley
Horsley serves as the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security in New Zealand, a role that has evolved significantly since its establishment in 1996. His office is responsible for overseeing the nation's intelligence agencies, including the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) and the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB). Recently, he was in the news for addressing concerns raised by multiple whistleblowers from the NZSIS regarding operational practices, health and safety risks, and leadership issues within the agency. This marked a significant moment in the history of New Zealand's intelligence oversight, as it highlighted the challenges and risks faced by intelligence staff and the importance of whistleblower protections in the sector.
