New Zealand’s Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters has demanded Australia take back terrorist Brenton Tarrant to serve out his life sentence so that his victims’ families are not forced to pay the “astronomical” cost of his incarceration.
“Now is the time for Australia’s Minister of Home Affairs, Peter Dutton, to receive and carry out the terrorist’s sentence in Australia,” he said.
“The Islamic community and all of New Zealand has already suffered enough without having to pay astronomical prison costs to keep him safe in our prison system.”
Earlier, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he believed Tarrant should serve out his sentence in New Zealand.
