1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Togever Do to see Alan the coroner's in question to

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: the terror attack at Auckland's Newland supermarket started today. Now,

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: if you remember all the way back in twenty twenty one,

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: six people were injured in the knife attack by the

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Islamic State supporter Ahmed Sumsidin. He was shot shortly after

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: by undercover police who were survailing him. Now, Jordan Done

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: is our reporter in court today. Hey Jordan, Hey, Ether

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: were you in court when the video was played?

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? I was. There was some rather graphic footage that

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: showed the attack itself. In the countdown. Now, I'm not

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: going to go into too much detail, but we do

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: see him shopping for you know, most of this fifteen

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: minute footage, and it's only in really those last few

14
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: minutes where we see him. He takes a red glove

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: out of his pocket, he puts it on his right hand.

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: He then takes a knife off of one of the displays.

17
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: He then unpackages it and begins attacking people. And it

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: takes you know, some people some time to react there,

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: obviously in quite some shock. And then we see some

20
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: of the other shoppers trying to intervene push Cholley's against him,

21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: throw cands of tuna and then even get some metal

22
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: bollards to try and at bay and that's until the

23
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: police come. There's kind of a confrontation allowed confrontation between

24
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: the two where we kind of see him moving forward

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: and back, and that's when he's shot and falls to

26
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: the ground.

27
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Police explained. Have police explained rather how this happened while

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: he was supposed to be under surveillance.

29
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, that's kind of going to be a big

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: part of the next two weeks and even the other

31
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: two phases that are going to be later this year

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: and even at the start of next year, because there

33
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: were several reports and several investigations into what happened. And

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: then that includes on the surveilling offices. Now they knew

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: everything that Subsiden was doing up until the point that

36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: he went into the countdown, and they were doing regular

37
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: surveillance reports on this as well. Now, the reason they

38
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: didn't exactly go into the countdown is because they didn't

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: really deem it to be a suspicious act of Subsiden.

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: He was a regular shopper there. They knew that, they

41
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: were aware of all the exits were at Countdown, and

42
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: they didn't think it was a target rich environment, which

43
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: essentially means that they knew he was capable of carrying

44
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: out an attack. They thought if you were to do that,

45
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: that it would be in a more densely populated area.

46
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: They also know that something was paranoid, and there was

47
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: the potential that he was suspicious about being surveiled, and

48
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: so they didn't really want to tap him off by

49
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: I suppose, over exerting that surveillance. Now the coroner is

50
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: accepting all of these findings, he's not going to challenge them,

51
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: but he does note that that doesn't mean there isn't

52
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: room for lessons to be learnt. There are still things

53
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: that could have changed, that potentially could have happened, and

54
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: that is what this entire hearing and in quest is about.

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,480
