That's the simple reality: the connection between this legislation and the terrible attacks on New Zealanders on 15 March 2019 is totally symbolic. There is no practical connection. There is no morsel of truth in the idea that this legislation practically addresses what happened that day. That means that the connection is purely rhetorical, that it's purely symbolic, and that it is, frankly, a Government that is trying to sell the sizzle because it has no sausage to sell.
