(Radio NZ) The Christchurch mosque shooter’s designation as a terrorist entity would be less likely to be revoked or automatically expire under proposed new law changes.
Removal of the designation would allow people to legally provide him with support, including funding.
As it stands, the shooter’s designation would automatically expire next September, and there is a risk he could seek to have it removed earlier on the grounds he is no longer involved in any way in the carrying out of terrorist acts.
In 2021, RNZ reported that he wanted to question his designation as a terrorist entity.
It is among several changes to counter-terrorism laws announced by Minister of Justice Kiritapu Allan this afternoon.
