COLFO issued a response as well, which pretty much covers off all the pertinent questions that need answers to. There will be a lot of eyes on this inquiry.
Good to see, it will take a while but I am pleased that there is a good chance that the truth will out however late it may be
About time. If he had not been granted a licence, this trajedy would have been avoided. End if story.
Now matter the outcome you can't change the past. Wether any changes for the good result from it is anyone's guess
Interesting how they talk about loopholes.
What is more pertinent is his crap vetting along with why his terrorist proclivities were enough to be flagged by our security agencies bit didn't get passed onto the rozzers so he wasn't even elligible
If the “they” you refer to are the NZ Police and the “foul up” refers to having issued a firearms license without having determined that the referees should nominated by Tarrant should not have been accepted as referees then the NZ Police (Mike McIlraith) have/has already admitted and accepted that they got that wrong.Quote:

Michael McIlwaith just deflects, he knows full well who caused the problem. Watching him on TV I thought an apology would have helped.
It's because the inconvenient truths didn't sit well with the one source of truthQuote:

Nothing would give me more pleasure than to see him fired but it will never happen.
Interesting the comment that someone made in the article that even if he hadn't been granted a license it might not have stopped him, just made it a bit more difficult to get the gear. Not sure I agree with that, bit hard to buy bulk ammo in NZ without a license for one!
FWIW He mentioned in his manifesto that he considered other methods of attack but chose firearms for maximum political impact.Quote:

It has to be up there with 9/11 as one of the most successful terrorist attacks of all time. He achieved every one of his goals and more, plus inspired numerous copycat attacks.
Beat me to it. Means motive opportunity he had plenty of options if firearms weren't available to him. Mcgraiths comment that he could have still gotten them was an arse covering exercise designed to minimize the licensing failure.
Hopefully the Police will finally have to admit they messed up giving him a license, had diverted FAL funding into other areas, etc but I’m not holding my breath
It was in the Christchurch press today.it was mentioned quite specifically on how the vetting was botched.
It was also reported that he and other coppers had been actively trying to shut down the big mag loophole and ban MSSAs but govt didn't listen.
I thought it was mostly firearms groups that tried to get the big mags thing sorted
Withheld info was secret squirrel stuff from NZ govt agency's like SISQuote:

And no large capacity containers to put it in. Could of just used some fert and diesel. Its quite effective as well
Very good interview here by The Platform.
