Christchurch mosque attacks accused to see report first

From Morning Report, 7:10 am on 20 January 2020

The man accused of the Christchurch mosque shootings will be one of the first to see draft sections of the report compiled by the Royal Commission investigating the attacks.

As well as reading parts of the draft report, Brenton Tarrant will also have the opportunity to respond before the final copy is handed to the Governor-General at the end of April.

The Royal Commission says it's a legal obligation but a Muslim community leader says it gives him too much power.
