It is incumbent on us as parliamentarians to do all we can to keep New Zealand safe. As the royal commission of inquiry's report acknowledges, no country will ever be immune from violent extremism and terrorism, but there is much that the Government can do to minimise that risk. Implementing the royal commission's 44 recommendations is a good start, and particularly the most important of those, like having a new Minister responsible for leading and coordinating the counter-terrorism effort. The Government has national support in delivering on these vital recommendations at pace.
