New Zealand has lost its innocence

Just want to say thanks to the people who have emailed me out of the blue about the far right white extremist hate crime act that occured here in NZ.
NZ is a very multicultural country and we are all shocked and saddened about what happened

NZ has stood hard fast in acceptance and tolerance and to think terrorist can take that away through an act of terrorism underestimates NZ

thanks for you kind words and support :slight_smile:

Cheers to you and your marvelous country. A standard bearer for the rest of the world to follow.

We have family in NZ so when we heard this it was very shocking. It has always seemed a very welcoming and safe country so this is even more shocking. I worked in London ( UK) in the 70’s and 80’s so am only too well aware of how disturbing this can be as we had quite a torrid time then. It is wonderful to see how NZ has come together over this, wonderful to see so many students doing a haka on the news today in support of those who suffered.
