Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Lead Coordination Minister for the Government's Response to the Royal Commission's Report into the Terrorist Attack on the Christchurch Mosques): Recommendation 14 called on the Government to establish a programme to fund independent, New Zealand - specific research on the causes of, and measures to prevent, violent extremism and terrorism. On Friday last week, the Prime Minister and I attended the official launch of the National Centre of Research Excellence for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism—He Whenua Taurikura. By establishing the centre at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, and directly supporting research nationally, we are going further than the original recommendation by the royal commission. The centre will be a keystone in helping us to become a more resilient, inclusive, and safer Aotearoa New Zealand. The launch of this centre is another step in implementing all of the recommendations from the royal commission report, which remain a priority for the Government as we continue to honour those lost and affected by the terrorist attack on the Christchurch mosques.
