It was not widely known in the aftermath of the terror attacks that Ardern authorized payment for all fifty-one funerals, regardless of the victims’ citizenship status, and spearheaded a new policy that restricted the sale of the military semi-automatic weapons that led to those funerals. — Khaled A.
