Christchurch Mosque Attacks inquiry report to be handed over today

From Morning Report, 7:19 am on 26 November 2020

After nearly 20 months and multiple extensions the high-level investigation into the Christchurch terror attack will today hand over its findings.

The Royal Commission was tasked with examining what exactly security agencies knew about the terrorist before the shootings and what it did with that information.

It was also looking at what could be done to prevent similar attacks ever happening again.

It's still not clear exactly when the report and findings will be made public, but the government anticipates it will be before Christmas. 

For the families of the 51 Muslims killed on 15 March it's just another step in a long recovery.
