Key to Dotcom: I'm sorry
Prime Minister John Key has apologised to internet millionaire Kim Dotcom in the wake of a surveillance scandal that will see the country's spies re-checking all cases going back to 2009.

"If things had been done properly it would have been quite clear [Dotcom] was protected," Key said
"It is quite a basic error. They have failed at the lowest hurdle. It's quite frankly not good enough."
Key apologised to Kim Dotcom and all New Zealanders.
"They have let themselves down. They have let New Zealand down."
He said the GCSB would have to do its own investigation and take appropriate action.
"If they had done their job properly they should have worked it out," Key said.
LABOUR CALLS FOR BROAD INQUIRY
Labour is calling for an independent ''wide-ranging'' inquiry into the illegal spying.
He said Neazor, as watchdog of the security agencies, had a conflict of interest.
