Neither security and intelligence agencies, the police or the Government could have stopped the Christchurch gunman. The Royal Commission into the March 15th attacks says there's nothing specific any public agency could have done with the information and powers they had at the time. The Commission's report was released today, noting failures by the police and the Security Intelligence Service, prompting a number of top level apologies.
