1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Did you see the cops put out a handy warning

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: for us all yesterday Hide Tell escape or is it

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: hide escape Tell? Yes? The latter The spooks, their spies

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: and Wellington reckon that extremist violence is a realistic possibility

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: in this country. Now they've been saying this for some time,

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: but yesterday you would have seen a news alert about

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: this new campaign from police. It's what to do during

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: an armed attack and a crowded place. Now you could think, well,

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: maybe they're just being prepared, and that's good. Good to

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: be prepared, better to know than not. But is there

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: a little part of you that also thinks do they

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: know something specific you know? Or are they following so

13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: many suspected terrorists or potential terrorists that they've maxed capacity

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: and feel like it's time to inform the last line

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: of defense or self defense US. It's one of those things.

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it last night after watching the news,

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: and you wonder whether maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid,

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: or is this so plain and obvious that everyone else

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: assumes the same thing you had. Luigi Mangioni over the US.

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: This is the young guy who hated insurance companies and

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: assassinated a CEO in cold blood. Allegedly, you had Tyler

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: Robinson over in the US again, he was in there.

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: Another young guy strong Views allegedly took his granddad's gun

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: to university to shoot and kill a guest speaker. They

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: reckon hear the risk remains low, but the threat is growing.

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: The most likely scenario would involve a lone actor radicalized

27
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: online through dangerous ideology and grievances. And the cops said explicitly,

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: this is you know, this is something that is just

29
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: one click away. It's not hard to find. It's not

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: like it's on some far flung corner of the internet. Now,

31
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: given all of this, just think carefully about the stuff

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: that is said on social media, about grievances and about

33
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: extreme language, and the need to do something about it.

34
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: A recent survey of business leaders he have found more

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: we're worried about extreme as of than interest rates. And

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: I think most reasonable kiwis if they're not, they should

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: be as worried about it too. The cops' advice this

38
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: week is an update on some similar stuff that they

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: released after the mosque shootings. And you just hope, like

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: hell that we can figure out as a society, figure

41
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,880
