Anne-Marie Brady is a professor at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. In February she warned that "New Zealand is like a canary in the coalmine for other small countries, which want to engage with the superpower without being overwhelmed."[1] She is a member of several New Cold War organizations, like the Australian Strategic Policy Institute and the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China.

Activities

In September 2017, Anne-Marie Brady published a “Magic Weapons” paper, which "highlighted a river of campaign donations to governing parties, and how a cluster of former senior politicians – including former prime ministers and mayors – and family members of current government ministers had been appointed to boards of state-owned Chinese banks, companies and think tanks."[2]

Burglary

In late 2017, she claimed to have become the target of a campaign of intimidation.[3] A number of related properties were burgled, including her university office and home.[4][5][6][7] As of 2019, progress was being made in the investigation and Interpol were involved.[8][9]

In mid-February 2019, it was reported that the police investigation into the burglary and other incidents had concluded as unresolved.[10][11][12] In April 2019, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern responded to claims by an ABC's Four Corners documentary that "Australian intelligence agencies have identified China's spy service as the prime suspect behind the intimidation of University of Canterbury Professor Anne-Marie Brady" with a statement that she had seen "nothing - no evidence - to support the claims that were made in that story".[13]
