New Zealand has paused for two minutes of silence to mark the passing of one week since the Christchurch mosque massacre last Friday that left 50 people dead. 9News

"But, instead we have shown that New Zealand is unremarkable and that the world can see in us an example of love and unity."We are alive, we are together, we are determined to not let anyone divide us."

Members of several New Zealand motorcycle gangs will stand guard outside mosques during Friday prayers. Families and the community are expected to return to the scene of the terror attacks on Christchurch's Masjid al Noor and the Linwood mosque for the first time for prayers on Friday. "We are so happy that this prayer will be broadcast to the entire world so that everyone can be a part of it."

Legislation to introduce the ban, which also includes high-capacity magazines and parts that can turn legal guns into assault weapons, is expected to be introduced by April 11."In short, every semi-automatic weapon used in the terrorist attack on Friday will be banned in this country," Ms Ardern said, confident the laws will have majority support across the country.

9NewsMelb Notice the picture is of only men praying. The women are segregated from the men behind big screens. Obviously the NZ PM is not too worried about equality for women in NZ given she wore the female submissive hijab in front of the men.....

9NewsMelb Why 2 minutes when we only stop for 1 minute on Remembrance Day. Is it a religious thing or do their dead deserve more silence than ours?

'Not the New Zealand any of us know': NZ unites in wake of Christchurch terrorSeventeen minutes of terror has reshaped New Zealand - but more than 24 hours after the Christchurch mosque attacks its citizens are standing together. It IS nice that the anti-Muslim rhetoric spouted by some on Twitter has been silent for a while. Australians should note the huge outpouring of grief and consolation.

Bikies pledge to stand guard at mosques for Friday prayersBikie gangs in New Zealand have promised to guard mosques in New Zealand on Friday following the Christchurch massacre last week. thinking that someone needs to also protect churches, you? As usual, correction is required (again). The Mongrel Mob and the Black Power are not Bikie Gangs. Never have been. You may want to do correct investigating before publishing something that may come back and haunt you, like the MMM and the BP. this is not right.. your ment to cut the undersea cabels of the internet

Using terror laws against NZ gunman could allow him to grandstand, says former prosecutorFormer NZ Crown prosecutor Ross Burns said people like Brenton Tarrant wanted a platform and so 'if he's denied a platform, he's failed in his objective'. Murderer!! Aww hells the the naw. How about just Trying him for 50 plus Murders ? That should put him away for Life / Ever No Parole , or just take the Prick out & shoot him ! Don’t complicate the issue !
