I want to add our admiration for those members of the New Zealand Police who fastidiously tracked this dangerous terrorist 24/7 for several weeks and were on hand, having carried out surveillance from the distance they were able, and certainly, or almost certainly, ensured that a much worse tragedy did not take place by neutralising the terrorist. I want to extend that admiration to the bystanders shopping and the Countdown stores who did the Kiwi thing and showed no hesitation in going and rushing to the aid of those victims. That is one of the examples that brings out the best in us.
