We know, based on the royal commission into the horrific terrorist attack on Muslin whānau in Christchurch on 15 March 2019, that the intelligence agencies were monitoring and targeting completely the wrong people. The reality is that they were not at all focused on white supremacists and their organisations, despite them having a longstanding history of violence in this country, including firebombing marae and attacking Māori on the streets. Instead, we know that the majority of the operations targeted peaceful Muslim citizens and tangata whenua activists.
