I'd assumed that moving back to NZ might be a solution, sadly that seems to not be the case. Fortunately it's a nice place to be anyway.
It seems like the only option is to live in a country that's so insignificant that no-one cares about it, and whose government is too incompetent to implement something like this :-)
I think we qualify under the last two criteria ;-) unfortunately our GCSB get's lots of help from our big brother across the lake. We actually had our own wee 'Oh noes they are spying on our local citizens' scandal the other day.. the response of which was for the government to pass legislation making it retroactively legal. Yay.
