Justice Minister Kris Faafoi announces new counter terrorism legislation in crackdown on precursor activity, the planning of an attack.
National security officials believe there is a “very high” risk of a significant terrorist attack occurring in the coming three years, according to information from a classified report obtained by
Stuff. A summary of the Government’s “Terrorism Risk Profile”, a classified report which informs the current counter-terrorism strategy, reveals the country’s national security agencies assessed the risk of a worst-case scenario attack occurring as “very high” within the five years from June 2019. Such an attack, it was assessed, could come from unidentified people with extremist right-wing ideology who have “intent and capability”, or from “a small number” of Islamist extremists known to the agencies who could commit an unsophisticated attack, or from other, unspecified violent issue-motivated groups or individuals.
