Mosque Shame
I am probably like many other people in New Zealand who are in tears watching the news and the horror that has unfolded in our midst, overwhelmed with a feeling of helplessness and a deep wish to go and hug these poor people whose lives have been forever changed. Their feeling of safety in our peaceful land shattered and along with them, our own fear that tomorrow it could be any one of us. Evil lives amongst us.
To all the Muslims in our country who believe in peace and have lived amongst us without incident I can only share your pain and sorrow.
My deepest condolences to all who have lost friends and family not by the hands of men because real men don’t shoot the defenceless, but by the hands of COWARDS with evil hearts and guns.
Our wonderful country will never be the same. May you find strength to cope and feel peace once again. You have the love and support of the decent people that most of us are.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
