Jacinda Ardern has distanced herself from a new film on the Christchurch shootings, which members of New Zealand's Muslim community say treats them as 'props' in a story that should centre on their voices.

A new film about the 2019 Christchurch terror attacks has been criticised by members of New Zealand's Muslim community, who say the film's narrative has the wrong focus on white voices and the 'White Saviour narrative'.

"It's frustrating that this was tragedy that happened to the Muslim community and yet the story is starting a week after," said Anjum Rahman from The Islamic Women's Council of New Zealand. "It is good that the government has formed a board to provide support to the victims. There is some movement. But this is part of a wider narrative [of white supremacist views].

The film is entitled They Are Us, a phrase Ms Ardern used in the aftermath of the shootings, which killed 51 people and injured many more. "Some feel that perhaps it is even too soon for a film because we're still feeling the effects from that day."

Legal loophole saw rapist released unchecked nine months before new attacksAn anomaly in WA law meant Rami Rahman was in the Broome community unsupervised for months before he attacked a mother and daughter while they slept. Great, just another example of our fudged up legal system, with different laws in different States for the same crimes; in our great banana republic. All laws should be national. The incredible waste of resources and complexity we have is a crime.

China's Xinjiang a 'dystopian hellscape' for Muslims, new Amnesty report saysIn a landmark new report, Amnesty International accuses the Chinese Communist Party of committing crimes against humanity in Xinjiang. And ABC News supports Marxism and tyranny, so do not sit here and pretend that care about Muslims. PS. Thanks for helping with a color revolution and overthrowing a American government. US Section Code 2185 It's not up to anyone to prove something isn't true. If Amnesty International is going to claim that there is a genocide, they need to prove it.
