| Subject: Christchurch terrorist attack sparks free speech debate in New Zealand Sun Mar 24, 2019 7:21 pm | |
| New Zealanders are debating the limits of free speech after their chief censor banned a 74-page manifesto written by the man accused of slaughtering 50 people at two mosques in the city of Christchurch.
Today Show reporter Gabrielle Boyle is in Christchurch, where New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has called on the world to reject messages of hate.
The ban, issued on Saturday, means anybody caught with the document on their computer could face up to 10 years in prison, while anyone caught sending or forwarding it could face 14 years. Some say the ban goes too far and risks lending both the document and the gunman mystique.
