Australia blindsided by Mahuta s Five Eyes comments as shock jock blasts woke mystic babble Newshub 4 hrs ago Jamie Ensor © Video - Newshub; Image - Getty / SkyNews. It comes as the Australian Foreign Affairs Minister arrives in New Zealand. Nanaia Mahuta s comments about the Five Eyes alliance this week blindsided Australian officials, according to a new report released as the Aussie Foreign Affairs Minister arrives in New Zealand.  Mahuta on Monday said New Zealand was uncomfortable with expanding the remit of the intelligence-sharing partnership to comment on issues broader than those relating to security.  New Zealand has been very clear, certainly in this term and since we ve held the portfolio, not to invoke the Five Eyes as the first point of contact on messaging out on a range of issues that really exist out of the remit of the Five Eyes, the minister said.
