The prime minister addressed a special meeting of parliament on Tuesday, opening her speech by using the Arabic greeting "Al-Salaam Alaikum", which in English means "peace be upon you".

She said: "I implore you, speak the names of those who were lost rather than the name of the man who took them. He is a terrorist. He is a criminal. He is an extremist. But he will, when I speak, be nameless."

Ms Ardern assured MPs that the attacker would "face the full force of the law". She encouraged New Zealanders to acknowledge the grief of the Muslim community this Friday - which is the Muslim day of worship and will mark one week since the shooting.

Ms Ardern has already announced that the nation's gun laws will be reformed and that the details would be presented within days.

3. I forget his first name but I know his last name begins with a T and ends in errorist.

ONe of the newscasters actually said that at his last name before self correcting so it just kinda stuck.

4. Hope this will help, at least that wannabe terrorists

Won’t think that after their cowardly acts everybody will know their name.
