FBI director Kash Patel on Kiwi soil
Photo: supplied Was it a big deal or not? The head of the FBI, Director Kash Patel, was sprung by a Herald journalist lurking in the basement of the Beehive. His appearance came after another reporter twigged that the FBI's plane was sitting on the tarmac at Wellington airport. The avalanche of mumbling 'no comment' from MPs was quickly followed by a release from the US Embassy about exactly why such an exciting guest was here - the FBI hanging its shingle out in the Capital. "Kash Patel being spotted in the Beehive basement felt like the start of a good spy movie," says RNZ political reporter Anneke Smith. But the FBI has long had a presence in New Zealand, and a former spy spoken to by The Detail says it's no big deal. So why did we get so excited about it? Maybe because everyone loves it when a secret gets out. Today on The Detail , Smith tells us how the story unravelled, and a Senior Lecturer in Security Studies at Massey University, Dr Rhys Ball, questions the significance of the event. Patel himself said - through a carefully curated media package and video that was rigged to look like a press conference, though it wasn't - that it was all about transnational crime including countering the narcotics trade, cybercrime, and " countering the CCP ", the Chinese Communist Party. The FBI was "opening up our law enforcement attaché office here in Wellington," he said, to show "the world that the FBI is actually prioritising a permanent presence across all Five Eyes countries, and here in New Zealand we had not had that until this historic moment". The China comment was a very different line to what the New Zealand government took, Smith says. Ministers later that day were reiterating that it was all about cracking down on crime in the Indo-Pacific. Foreign Minister Winston Peters said the issue of China had not come up in their meeting. "Two very different tacks I think taken from New Zealand and the US," says Smith, "the US being quite bolshie in terms of framing this up with the wider context in terms of the geo-political contest in the Indo-Pacific region." China called the FBI director's statements "groundless assertions" and described his comments as part of a "Cold War mentality". And that's why our politicians played that aspect of this visit down. "New Zealand(ers) will be well aware we have an important trade relationship with China, they're our biggest trading partner, they're about a third of our exports, a lot of meat and dairy go to China so a really significant trading relationship there," says Smith. "We walk very much through the centre line of a lot of hefty controversial subjects on that because of our trading relationship. "The US, on the other hand, doesn't hold back." Kash Patel is a controversial figure and a Trump loyalist, who's a conspiracy theorist, supporter of the rioters on the Capitol, an anti-vaxxer and has been accused of perjury. "I don't think any of that came up during his visit to New Zealand last week," says Smith. "That was all about opening the office and signalling it's here in the Indo-Pacific." Dr Rhys Ball says the move isn't really a big deal. "It's part of the usual relationship or engagement that intelligence and security agencies have," he says. "Particularly in the Five Eyes community. The legal attaché role within the FBI is a simple liaison office role, and there's been engagement with Bureau legal attaches for a long time." He says there are New Zealand police liaison agents in other countries around the world, and that's usually a quid-pro-quo situation. The difference now is that where the legal attaché in Canberra used to be responsible for New Zealand, that person is now in Wellington. "One perhaps can speculate that particular role for the Canberra Legat office has got quite big now and the business that needs to be discussed has expanded to the point where the Bureau, and Wellington, feel the need for a permanent presence in Wellington," says Ball. He says cooperation between various international law enforcement agencies has increased in the last five to 10 years, particularly between the United States, Australia and New Zealand. "Things are picking up to the point where there's benefit in a permanent presence in Wellington." Check out how to listen to and follow The Detail here .

Missing man's bank accounts recently drained by Nigerian scammers
Fire and Emergency New Zealand personnel and LandSAR volunteers gather at the command centre set up at the base of Sewell Peak to search for missing man Roy Arbon. PHOTO: MEG FULFORD In a bizarre twist in the so far fruitless search for missing Runanga pensioner Roy Arbon, it has been revealed his bank accounts were recently emptied by Nigerian scammers. Eighty searchers made an all-out effort on Saturday to find the well-known "Honey Man", 10 days after the 75-year-old left his Runanga pensioner's flat to walk up Mt Davy and Sewell Peak. The bank scam was revealed during a police briefing for the big search muster and was met with audible sighs. Mr Arbon has been the frequent target of online criminals, The New Zealand Herald earlier reporting that Nigerian scammers first "got their hooks into him" in about 2013 and his details then appear to have been harvested and on-sold to other scammers as a vulnerable target "to be repeatedly milked". A 2016 deception resulted in the retired beekeeper being jailed in Western Australia after he was duped into carrying 2.5kg of cocaine from Asia to Perth. The search on Saturday drew on every available resource to scour the Mt Davy area, described by police as "notoriously difficult terrain". "Seventy-nine people deployed out into the Mt Davy area where his phone last pinged," search and rescue leader Senior Sergeant Mark Kirkwood, of Greymouth, said. "Police, Land Search and Rescue, Cave Search and Rescue, Mines Rescue, Alpine Cliff Rescue, Fire and Emergency New Zealand, Coastguard, Surf Lifesaving New Zealand and search dogs ... Over the search we have used drones, helicopters, Recco detecting equipment, thermal imaging — any technology that was available to us." Searchers gathered at the Greymouth Coastguard building on Saturday morning while the sky was still dark, and Snr Sgt Kirkwood warned that the area to be searched was perforated with mineshafts and dissected by creeks and trenches. "[Mr Mr Arbon's] health was good. He is an Alpine Cliff Rescue member and has been in the bush most of his life, well known to the local community. "A survivability expert we consulted, who works for the NZDF [Defence Force] said a person would be able to survive, given good conditions, up to 30 days, no problem at all — as long as they had correct gear and shelter. It is not known if [Mr Arbon] had a tent but he certainly had a sleeping bag," Snr Sgt Kirkwood said. Roy Arbon. PHOTO: SUPPLIED "There have been no sightings of him since. We have received over 40 phone calls about this incident — some from clairvoyants, some saying they have seen him at the mall in Henderson — all over New Zealand. ... Our mission is to find Roy Arbon." Mr Arbon was captured by a CCTV camera biking towards the Rewanui incline early on Wednesday, July 23. The bike was later found well concealed near the track entrance. The alarm was raised about noon the following day, when his neighbour found a written note: "Gone for walk, Mt Davy to Mt Sewell. Back tonight or tomorrow morning." It was not known at the time the first search was mounted, but the last indication of Mr Arbon was when his cellphone pinged just two hours later, heading south towards Sewell Peak. The area where the phone pinged measures about 600m by 300m, between Mt Davy and Sewell Peak. Since then, the phone has either been switched off or run flat. Rescuers have since combed every track Mr Arbon could have taken and followed up tip-offs regarding possible campsites, all to no avail. "Tomorrow, we intend to send in a dog team and searchers to a further area of interest that we have identified, and we continue to assess any new information received that might lead to Roy's location," Snr Sgt Kirkwood said. Any information regarding Mr Arbon or his whereabouts should be reported by phoning the police on 105. — Greymouth Star
