Immaturity, hormonal teenage bravado, dumbness, bad influences. I think he probably deserves a second chance, as the judge wisely decided. But he really needs to be made to understand the gravity of the issue. Maybe he should meet some Muslims, if they are willing.

For "Lulz" on certain websites.

"Freedomofspeech" stalwarts - meet the age of children wanting to become heroes amongst "peers" (many probably not) on websites that'll give them easy upvotes/karma for advocating genocide.

The kid took the opportunity to take a year off the net to sort himself out. Hopefully that's done wonders.

Monster unlikely to be sent back to Australia

This should be no surprise to any serious and reflective person who knows something about the system. Hopefully all the fantasist talk of sending him back ends forever.

Press release today:

The shuhada (martyrs), families, survivors and all those affected by the terrorist attack on two Christchurch Mosques are being acknowledged as the second anniversary approaches.

An official remembrance service will take place this Saturday March 13 in Christchurch.

“Our thoughts continue to be with the victims, survivors, families and all those affected by the horrific attack,” Lead Coordination Minister for the Government’s response to the Royal Commission Andrew Little says.

“We are also taking this opportunity to share details of the Government’s ongoing commitment to working with the victims and those affected,” Andrew Little said.

As part of that, Andrew Little and Minister for Diversity, Inclusion and Ethnic Communities, Priyanca Radhakrishnan, have completed the first round of 33 hui with Muslim, pan-ethnic and multi-faith communities across New Zealand.

“We are thankful to all those who took part in the hui and offered their time, insights and feedback and we will continue to engage with communities and groups as this work progresses,” Priyanca Radhakrishnan says.

Communities’ priorities expressed at many of the hui included:

The education sector plays a critical role in contributing to a socially cohesive New Zealand
There are continued concerns over the Royal Commission of Inquiry’s finding that no individual or specific Government agency was at fault for the terrorist attack
Safety within New Zealand for those from Muslim and other ethnic communities remains a concern
The Government needs to be accountable and responsive to communities
The media can perpetuate negative stereotypes towards ethnic and faith communities, and this should be addressed
Hate speech, hate crime and hate incidents are experienced by many within the community, and legislative reform is an important tool for change
Many face barriers in accessing services and discrimination in securing employment
Any response needs to be inclusive of all-of-society, and these conversations need to be wider than just within Muslim and other ethnic communities
There needs to be continued culturally sensitive health and wellbeing support for communities
The Government needs to work in partnership with community organisations to effect true change
The public service needs to be committed to diversity and inclusion, and ensure that ethnic and faith voices are heard in policy development
A full summary of the feedback has been published on the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet website, fulfilling a commitment for early report back to those who attended the hui.

Andrew Little and Priyanca Radhakrishnan have today outlined four initiatives as part of progress made following the release of the Royal Commission’s report in December.

Royal Commission of Inquiry Ethnic and Faith Community Engagement Response Fund

The Government will continue to support communities with the establishment of a Royal Commission of Inquiry Ethnic and Faith Community Engagement Response Fund to help minority ethnic and faith communities engage with Government to inform the Government’s response to the Royal Commission.

This new fund will receive $1 million over three years and will prioritise funding for groups most directly affected by the attack.

The fund can be used to support individual initiatives, as well as building long-term capability within communities.

“A key message to come out of the hui was the need for government to recognise that community representative groups involved in engagement are usually non-profit with unpaid voluntary staff. This fund is about addressing the disparity in resources between community groups and the state. It will support communities to have representatives that can engage as we implement the Royal Commission’s recommendations,” Andrew Little said.

Implementation Oversight Advisory Group

The Implementation Oversight Advisory Group will be a partner in the Government’s response by ensuring timely, effective and accountable implementation of the Government’s response to the Royal Commission’s Report.

Nominations open on March 15 via the DPMC website.

Collective Impact Board

The Collective Impact Board will enable affected whānau of March 15 to guide and advise on services to support their long-term recovery needs. This is in line with recommendations 25 and 26 of the Royal Commission’s report and reflects feedback from the community.

Nominations open to affected whānau for the Collective Impact Board on March 15.

Ethnic Communities Graduate Programme

The Ethnic Communities Graduate Programme will create employment opportunities for graduates and build the diversity of knowledge and experience within the public sector.

This new programme will provide a pathway into the Public Service for skilled graduates from ethnic communities, with the added benefit of bringing broader cultural competency across the Public Sector.

Applications are open now until March 25 for the first intake of the Ethnic Communities Graduate Programme.

Extending the Safer Communities Fund

The Government has extended the Safer Communities Fund, with $3.255 million available to provide a broader range of communities with funding to upgrade and implement security measures intended to reduce the risk of a potential attack and increase their feeling of safety.

Applications are open until May 5.

“The Government’s response to the Royal Commission of Inquiry is a long-term programme of work,” Andrew Little says.

“We are committed to strengthening social cohesion and ensuring that New Zealand is fair and safe for all.”

This doesn't surprise me. There were always going to be minor challenges to some of these unprecedented conditions. The outcome and any minor clarifications will not change the fact that the individual responsible is imprisoned forever.

Playing into his ideals. Of costing tax payers/Government as much as possible.

After two years reality is starting to sink into that miserable waste of space. He is finally beginning to realise just how long the rest of his worthless life will be, every second of it exactly like the one before and the one before that as he paces his cell and tries to remember what it was like to breathe free. His legal ploys are just desperate attempts to pass the time by taking advantage of any mechanism available to him to introduce some novelty into his endless empty days. As with his Norwegian scum buddy, he will make use of whatever he can and like the Norwegian, when he has used it all up he will slump back onto his bench and try to console himself with the thought that he only has another 70 or so years of excruciating boredom to go.

As for it's mental health/emotional needs, that's probably not resolvable without creating risk to society far outweighing the risk of harm to it, so keep it confined and isolated and out of sight, but otherwise treat it as kindly as is practical. The European courts seem to have found a solution by permanently disallowing appeals by the similar less than human thing they had to deal with.

It's a tricky one. As for removing his terrorist status, that should be a hard no. Without knowing exactly how he is currently being held it's pretty impossible to really know if anything needs changing. Presumably he is segregated from the rest of the inmates, as much for his own safety as theirs. But if extended isolation is in violation of international law, then what do they do with him?

The current semantics are in the original NZH article. It's costing us all, a LOT.

Brand new complex built inside the prison. For him. But he now has 2 mates nearby. Never sees them. Total isolation. 18 full time rostered guards (for just him).

Pulling the mickey. It's over access to Mail and News. Yet still got on the phone this morning after everything was arranged and asked to postpone it citing the same access issues to documents.

Confining him to solitary indefinitely is a "lesser evil" than allowing him to kill again - or be killed.

He has to be treated humanely. Otherwise we just lower ourselves. But he is entitled to zero sympathy. I can think of no good reason to allow him the company of others - any others. There is also the risk that he could radicalise others and I would hate to give him that option. If he is stuck with his own twisted company for the rest of his life, which I hope with all my heart and soul will by long and empty, then so be it. Give him the Qur'an for company.

Didn't know that. Still a lot I don't know (and I don't know if it's publically available):

Presumably the conditions aren't like what we generally think of as solitary confinement, e.g. "The Hole" or SHU?
Does he get supervised outdoor time and exercise?
TV and /or other entertainment?
