Australia provided fertile ground for suspect in Christchurch massacre
By Adam Taylor and Adam Taylor Foreign reporter who writes about a variety of subjects Email Bio Follow Rick Noack Rick Noack Foreign affairs reporter focusing on Europe and international security Email Bio Follow March 15 at 6:41 PM Shortly after the shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, that left 49 people dead Friday, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed that the suspect was an Australian citizen and denounced him as a right-wing “terrorist.
It remains unclear whether he had established links to far-right groups, but such groups have been active in Australia for decades. Some experts say that anti-Muslim rhetoric has been normalized by mainstream right-wing news outlets, many of which are owned by billionaire Rupert Murdoch. “The fact is that he chose New Zealand quite carefully,” said Aurelien Mondon, an expert on the far right at the University of Bath in Britain. “He wanted to make clear that Muslims weren’t safe anywhere.”
Though most of those groups focus on Australian concerns, the manifesto released before Friday’s attack indicated the alleged gunman had moved to New Zealand specifically to carry it out, suggesting it would show that Muslims were not safe “even in the remotest areas of the world.”In the manifesto and several videos of the attack, there was only fleeting mention of Australia.
