the Dom Post's story this morning points out ... but – without the powers conferred by the Terrorism Suppression Act, which only came into force in 2002...
Now, if only the Terrorism Suppression Act had actually created such powers...

With many thanks to the prolific **shazenger**

Shoot the Prick TWICE ;-)
Careful. One News will be leading with threats against the mayor of Auckland tomorrow...

It appears that the offences so far being considered are:
Participation in a terrorist group
Unlawful possession of firearms
Unlawful possession of restricted weaponsAnd someone may have a semi-automatic.

The reference to Wishart was not out of thin air, it was from memory.
And given he's referencing himself today you can't really be blamed...

There's got to be a story in why TV3 were either invited, or 'accidentally told' to be there for that dawn raid.
TV3's offices aren't too far from the scene. Apparently a reporter saw a group of cops formation marching down a street and followed.

So, they couldn't use that act to open a car boot with a woman's body in it?
They could. And indeed did. That's what took them so long. They got all the evidence they had together, swore affidavits and found a judge/JP to give them a search warrant.
That all takes time. The different with this case is that here they actually had time.

The raids were, in fact, conducted under the Summary Proceedings Act but any mention of the TSA is scary to me.
The Summary Proceedings Act is the act under which police obtain search warrants. The obtained Search Warrants under that act for suspected breaches of the Arms Act and the Terrorism Suppression Act.

Anyone recognise the property?
Newsday described it as something like the Aro Community Centre. It was a meeting place during the anti-bypass campaigns.

Congratulations to TV3, which well and truly won the midday news coverage:
Footage of the raid itself, crosses to reporters actually on the scene, and numbers - a co-ordinated effort.
TV One got live footage of Howard Broad's media conference but little else.
