The terrorist massacre of innocent Moslems at prayer in Christchurch has stunned NZ and the world.
50 people were killed. That's huge anywhere in the world, but in NZ where there is no culture of this kind of event, it's incomprehensible.
Our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has modelled to the world how to respond in such a situation and of that, we can be proud. She has outed it as white supremacist terrorism and will not speak the gunman's name. It has had the opposite effect of what 'that person' set out to achieve. We are now all more informed, accepting and tolerant of difference.
It has broken our hearts but it has not broken us.
They didn't show this amazing performance by Marlon Williams and his Aunties in any of the international broadcasts - he is amazing.
