Peters WinstonRt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First): New Zealand First joins with others in their sentiments regarding the disastrous outrage in Britain especially those families affected by this latest atrocity. This includes as we know a New Zealander and our condolences go out to all his family and friends. Our condolences also extend across the Tasman with the events today in Melbourne.In Britain this latest Islamic terror attack shows a degree of calculation with the UK general election this week. It becomes nothing less than an attack on democracy which must not be allowed to succeed. There has also been a tendency to minimise these attacks as being by self-radicalised lone wolves or to pass them off as being by people who are unhinged. That needs to be completely rethought in the West.Seventy-seven days on from the last motion in this House following the murder of five people on Westminster Bridge what have we seen? Within 7 weeks of that attack on 3 April 14 innocents were murdered on the St Petersburg metro by an immigrant jihadist's suitcase bomb and just 4 days later another jihadist in Stockholm a rejected asylum seeker used a truck to murder five people including a child. Then just weeks ago in Manchester 22 people—many of them children—were murdered by the nail bomb of the cowardly Salman Abedi. That person while British-born was the son of asylum seekers whose family was given sanctuary in the UK from the rule of Colonel Gaddafi—yet they are a family who maintained close ties nevertheless with Libyan jihadists.What we know about the London Bridge attackers is that two of them arrived in the UK as immigrants. One was known to officials and even TV audiences so we must ask: how could people plan such terrible deeds but leave their friends mothers fathers brothers sisters and spouses completely in the dark? Inevitably we will be told that the wider community knew nothing and neither did the friends or the family. How many times have you heard this disavowal? It is washing seriously thin. What is happening is that families friends and confidants are choosing to turn the other cheek choosing silence rather than turn these monsters in. That may be the culture of Damascus but it is not ours. It may be acceptable in Tripoli but it most certainly is not acceptable in New Zealand. While the Islamic community must clean house by turning these monsters in it starts with their own families.For New Zealand we must avoid the same politically correct trap that has allowed such communities apart to form—that is it is we who must change as a society they say to accommodate the cultural practices and traditions of others; that in some twisted spirit of inclusiveness it is we who must change and not them. No longer. We must stop the slide—as a people as a culture in the West as people who believe in freedom and liberty and indeed as a country—before we see in this country in a New Zealand locality a repeat of these events. If we are to learn from these attacks we must make it clear that we treasure freedom of expression and the liberty of separate religions and creeds that that is our system and that we will do everything in every part of our system to defend it.
