Mass shooting in NZ mosque

[scenario8]

The first five pages went well chaps.

An horrific attack.

For clarity, however, is NZ like Britain 30 years ago or the other way around? There appears to be confusion above!

[RobDickinson]

fkwits. That's an Australian politician not a kiwi.

Nz is absolutely nothing like Britain 30 years ago either.

fking retards.

It's really not though is it?
Socially and economically, NZ is almost a developing nation! Don't get me wrong, some people like it. 30 years ago, I preferred life here, although I suspect that was more that I was 30 years younger and up to my eyeballs in randy girls!

You have to remember this is New Zealand. No disrespect to them at all, but it's a bit like Britain was 30 years or so ago, so a somewhat "backward" statement like that is hardly a surprise,

The Statement was from an AUS politician not NZ wasn't it?

As for live streaming it, etc, it's even more of a barbaric act. I sense he is some fame seeker, not someone with misplaced political or religious ideals, just some who wants to be "famous".

Whilst it may be true he wanted Fame - I 100% believe that his political ideals have come into this and he is an example of extremism on the far right which is becoming a problem. He was a known white supremacist.

New Zealand in 30 years time will be like Britain is now. Is that better? I'm losing track of the timeline here.

Please stop saying really stupid things.

Queensland is in Australia.

New Zealand is neither “backward” nor “a developing nation”

Can we not do this.

Just this once...

There have been a small number of people who've made statements in the latter pages of this thread exacerbating the problems we all face, rather than ameliorating them.

That's helpful.

I can see his political career disappearing.

You'd be surprised, significant sections of the Australian public make Alabama look progressive - and I'm not joking or exaggerating.

I read that and immediately thought he must be very sure of his constituents’ leanings to be committing that to paper right now.

I do believe some people just can't help themselves.

[Labradorofperception]

To lighten the mood, here in Shropshire we joke that it's like New Zealand, but in the 1950's......

It’s not agenda based. He posted a right wing Australian senator posting right wing anti immigration dogma after an Australian right wing white supremacists killed loads of people and published a right wing racist manifesto. It’s clearly a political racially motivated attack.

Then you, a returning, ex banned trump supporting right wing poster are trying to accuse other people of politicising the event.

Just stfu.

There isn't much not to like about NZ. 20 years ago it was no London in terms of entertainment or shopping and life experiences which was the draw for so many young people travelling to London. It's changed massively. It's an expensive country to live well in now, particularly housing.

We should probably bear in mind that Boeing have killed more people this week than one Aussie terrorist in NZ.

This is really not worth anybody getting that worked up about.

Just so that you are not unfairly misunderstood do you mean that this atrocity or certain posts are “not worth getting that worked up about” ?

I think this is by far the worst post I've read on this thread. It would go down a storm on Breitbart.

Congratulations. Have a lolly.

I really hope that's some kind of misplaced sarcasm?

Maybe you should pop over to Christchurch and start explaining that to the families of the deceased.

And then maybe hunt down the families of those who lost their lives in 737 Max crashes, and give them your congratulations that they won the compassion lottery this week.

I've read the same thing on N,P and E plenty of times.

This is what happens when the hard right gets a toe hold.

That's as maybe but this is an Australian Senator, not some keyboard chump on the internet.

He got elected with bugger-all votes via a loophole that has since been closed.
No-one expects him to survive the next election, so he's free to air his bigoted opinions without consequences.
