The many failings that contributed to the Christchurch terror attack, highlighted in the 800 page Royal Commission report made public yesterday. The report found that the police did not vet the gunman properly for a firearms licence and that the intelligence community was focused in the wrong direction. Despite this, the report says nothing could have been done to stop the attacks, and the agencies were not to blame for the attack which left 50 people dead and 40 wounded. Kathryn speaks with the Police Commissioner Andrew Coster, and Aliya Danzeisen who leads government engagement for the Islamic Women's Council of New Zealand.
