Authorities are looking into possible ties between the Christchurch attack and an Austrian extremist group, with a large donation triggering the investigation.

Martin Sellner, head of the Identitarian Movement of Austria, said on social media that police searched his apartment on Monday and seized electronic devices after he received a “disproportionately high donation” from a person named Tarrant — the same surname as the suspected Christchurch shooter.

“It is important that the independent justice system can use all necessary means and resources to conduct its investigation together with the security services and expose these networks,” he said. “There needs to be total clarity about all extremist activities.” He declined to confirm when the donation took place, but said it was much higher than other contributions made to Sellner or his Identitarian Movement.

Sellner denied having anything to do with the March 15 massacre, in which 50 Muslims were killed in the southern New Zealand city. He suggested the reason for the donation might have been to provoke repressive measures against “patriots.”

Christchurch terrorist attack sparks free speech debate in New ZealandNew Zealanders are debating free speech after their chief censor banned a 74-page manifesto written by the man accused of the Christchurch mosque attacks. “Free speech” is the last refuge of the bigot. The reaction to this disaster has gone feral. Women seduced by the head covering including the PM. Censorship of the people and their media. It would seem the Muslims sacrifice has won them more than we could imagine.

Morrison said all the right things after Christchurch, but his history tells another storyMorrison's call for an end to tribalism would have been more potent if his side of politics had not made it their standard modus operandi in the past 25 years. Did he tho? The ABC playing progressive purity tests over the death of 50 people. Classy as always. Morrison sat sprawled, snappish and evasive on the project a few days ago and had the temerity to yap repeatedly that soft toned, spoken over Wahleed wouldnt let him speak (monopolise and direct). Australia was hoping for Ardern but got a souless cad. ABC is beholden. It shows.
