That is the dominant language of business in New Zealand and it’s the cornerstone of the agreed rules in the 2008 free trade agreement with the People's Republic of China (PRC).

The Government’s years-long mission to deport the Auckland supermarket terrorist was stymied because his support for Islamic State likely made him a “protected person” under law.

Ahamed Aathill Mohamed Samsudeen, the terrorist who was shot dead amid a stabbing attack at an Auckland Countdown on Friday, was stripped of refugee status while in custody in February 2019, after national security concerns sparked a police investigation that found he falsified documentation in his application.

The Taliban named Mullah Hasan Akhund, an associate of the movement's late founder Mullah Omar, as head of Afghanistan's new government on Tuesday and Sirajuddin Haqqani, whose organisation is on a US terrorism list, as interior minister.

Haqqani is the son of the founder of the Haqqani network, designated as a terrorist organisation by the United States. He is one of the FBI's most wanted men due to his involvement in suicide attacks and ties with al-Qaeda.
