New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is exploring the possibility of deporting Australian man Brenton Tarrant after he faces trial. The 28-year-old was not on any watchlist in Australia or New Zealand, despite online profiles linked to him containing white supremacist material. Mr Dutton also noted Tarrant had spent just 45 days in Australia in the past three years. But Mr Dutton said Senator Faruqi was "just as bad" as independent Fraser Anning, who blamed Muslim immigration for the attack.
