Balance lacking in surveillance trends - Security expert Phil Pennington © RNZ / Samuel Rillstone
The Security Intelligence Service (SIS) has adopted new terminology from its Canadian counterpart to talk about threats.
This means using Faith Motivated extremism to describe one end of the threat spectrum, and Identity Motivated Violent Extremism to describe the end that white supremacists inhabit.
In its recent annual review, SIS director-general Rebecca Kitteridge said this was a deliberate change in our language adapted from a helpful framework developed by our Canadian sister agency . Our new terminology makes it clear that our concern is with violent extremists and terrorists of varying ideologies. Those threats should not be conflated with communities, she added.
