“What happened today was despicable. It was hateful, it was wrong. It was carried out by an individual, not a faith, not a culture, not an ethnicity but an individual person who is gripped by ideology that is not supported here by anyone in the community,” said Ardern.

Millions.
Really? Well there you go, I had no idea. Thanks.
