RE: Mosque shootings in New Zealand

The fact that he was Australian and not a New Zealander is telling, as it shows how latent the racism still is in Australia.

It also shows how diverse New Zealand is now but it is terribly sad that a small island at the back end of the world has to have something like this knock on their door and could well change the country forever.
Hi Green Machine,
I lived in Perth in 1974 and Freemantle and Perth were great places to live provided you were white. Lots of landlords would only rent to white people.
In 1986 I lived in Auckland for 3 years, different place even then, never once did I encounter discrimination there.
Tragic what has happened, but listening to a anti terrorist spokesperson on SKY it does appear as if Christchurch does have a problem with discrimination and low level graffiti/ violence, so there was something in the background, it is just come to the foreground.
I can only feel sympathy for the families and friends of the deceased and injured
