Jacinda Ardern's office was sent shooter 'manifesto'
Source: The Age
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s office says it was among dozens to receive a copy of
the alleged Christchurch mosque shooter’s "manifesto" minutes before an attack that killed 49 people.
A spokesman from Ms Ardern’s office confirmed the document was sent to a generic address not checked by Ms Ardern herself, as part of a bulk email that also went a number of senior New Zealand political figures and large number of domestic and international media groups.
The message, received less than 10 minutes before the attack on Friday, did not set out what was about to happen, he said.
"There was no opportunity to stop it."
The document was immediately sent to security and police.

To think we could have had someone like her, here.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Tarrant was on "nobody's radar, anywhere".
"This is the real challenge when it comes to issues of terrorism. That's why we need to continue to be vigilant in this area. But there are no guarantees and protections. Hatred and intolerance will seek to work its evil wherever it can."
Tarrant was immersed in far-right online message boards, posting a manifesto on 8chan before he carried out the attacks, a website that describes itself as the "darkest reaches of the internet".
Plenty of innocent minorities and Muslims are on watch lists without having done anything criminal. Maybe it's time for white supremacists and RW extremists to be on watch lists. You know, for national security reasons. To keep us safe...
Using racism as patriotism is obviously not working. Watching brown people is not going to help when the killers are angry white males.
