Little, who is responsible for the Government’s response to the royal commission, said the review would “consider current threats to national security and whether the legislation can be improved”. “Families of the shuhada [martyrs, or victims of the terror attack] and the wider public will have the opportunity to express their views on issues related to national security and the matters raised by the royal commission about the legislation,” Little said, in a statement. Any decided upon changes to the law will go through the usual parliamentary process, he said. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will appoint two independent reviewers, and set the terms of reference for the review.
