Gentle... be gentle with our family and friends.

We in New Zealand continue to feel disbelief after the atrocious slaughter of our Muslim citizens while they were at worship in Christchurch yesterday. There is no place for racial and religious hatred in our country. New Zealand has been seen as a safe place until yesterday. That is no longer the case. We feel for our Muslim brothers and sisters. The messages of condolences from around our country and from around the world are comforting. We stand together.,
