Mass shooting in NZ mosque
Discussion
I didn’t realise we had such a Kiwi contingent here on PH.
I love your country and have the fondest memories of time spent there as a child. As somebody says above even in today’s crazy world NZ feels insulated from much of the lunacy that goes on elsewhere. A trusting, accepting place.
It’s so sad to see this happen.

"For those of you who are watching at home tonight and questioning how this could have happened here, we, New Zealand, we were not a target because we are a safe harbour for those who hate. We were not chosen for this act of violence because we condone racism, because we’re an enclave for extremism, we were chosen for the very fact that we are none of these things, because we represent diversity, kindness, compassion, a home for those that share our values, a refuge for those who need it. And those values, I can assure you, will not and cannot be shaken by this attack.
We are a proud nation of more than 200 ethnicities, 160 languages, and amongst that diversity we share common values. And the one that we place currency on right now is our compassion and the support for the community of those directly affected by this tragedy and secondly, the strongest possible condemnation of the ideology of the people that did this.
You may have chosen us, but we utterly reject and condemn you."
- Jacinda Adern, NZ PM.

I think our national psyche is probably a bit bruised today. I was in Europe on family holiday when the truck attack in France happened, whilst it was shocking, it wasn't really surprising, in the context. This is.I love your country and have the fondest memories of time spent there as a child.
