Hon POTO WILLIAMS (Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector): Thank you, Mr Speaker. Like colleagues before me, we are experiencing, in Christchurch, a few days of immense sadness as victims read their statements to the court. I'm just a little overwhelmed, overcome, by it, actually, because some of the things that are coming out in statements make me feel that our Muslim community have held on to an enormous amount of grief that they didn't share with us at the time. The victim impact statements have come to represent a whole body of knowledge that they have held apart from us. I want to just send to them my absolute aroha at the distress that they must be feeling but also at the huge amount of forgiveness that is being expressed in the courtroom as we sit here in this Chamber.
