As-Salaam-Alaikum
As much as I dislike labelling any single event as 'changing NZ for ever,' I think the terrorist attack on March 15 did. One of the many longterm effects is that non-Muslim New Zealanders now know so much more about Islam and many have befriended members of the Muslim community in their neighbourhood. The greeting 'As-Salaam-Alaikum' is now part of our lexicon.

We heard a lot from right-wingers claiming free speech for racists, misogynists, and nazis this year and ,sadly, I expect a lot more next year. -
My guess is that most Labour and all Green MPs do understand that users are often also suppliers (from necessity) but they still need the votes of socially conservative NZF MPs to get decriminalisation through parliament. Separating out users from suppliers may be enough to get support but they really will need to ramp up the testing and support services massively to have any chance of making this work.

This tweet from political journalist Jason Walls suggests the claim that Lees-Galloway hid behind a pillar to avoid media was not as reported by some media:
@Jasonwalls92
I think it’s important to note that claims that Iain Lees-Galloway was ‘hiding behind pillars’ from media this week have been exaggerated.

Thank you for writing this, Russell. It encapsulates everything that I have been feeling about this terrible (and avoidable) tragedy.

Labour did put up a candidate in the Northland by-election - as a political journalist you should know that.
