  • To provide a firm basis for New Zealand to seek and give cooperation from and to overseas government anti-spam enforcement agencies to combat spam sent from overseas to New Zealand;
  • Prevent New Zealand from being seen or used as a safe haven for spammers;
  • Minimise the costs for legitimate businesses that arise from spam; and
