(Radio NZ) The government is considering how it can change the law to deport people who pose a threat to national security.
This weekend marks a year since Ahamed Aathill Mohamed Samsudeen walked into a supermarket in Auckland and attacked shoppers with a knife he is believed to have picked off the shelf.
Eight people were injured at LynnMall on Friday, 3 September 2021, before Samsudeen was shot dead by police who were following him.
What transpired was a terrorist attack, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said that evening. She had “expressed concern that the law could allow someone to remain here who obtained their immigration status fraudulently and posed a threat to our national security.”
