Christchurch attack

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said any film about the Christchurch mosque attacks should centre the Muslim community.

What happened in Christchurch was no natural disaster. This was a planned attack, intended to strike terror into an entire country – and beyond.

It was never going to be an ordinary interview because Jacinda Ardern is no ordinary leader and The Project’s co-host Waleed Aly is no ordinary TV host.

In the aftermath of the Christchurch attack New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has proved the power of leading with compassion, courage & respect.

The lone gunman, charged with slaughtering 50 innocent human beings on Friday in Christchurch, is Australian. It requires a serious moment of reflection.

“Some politicians in Australia have for years been whipping up anti-muslim and anti-immigrant sentiment,” Faruqi told ABC Breakfast News this morning.

Jacinda Ardern has shared an update on the Christchurch attack, and urged US President Donald Trump to offer “sympathy and love” to Muslim communities.
