The United States is urging a global crackdown on “left-wing terrorism”, but New Zealand’s spy agency says it doesn’t use that term and the minister in charge…

call it what you want but if someone's planning to blow stuff up just stop them, doesn't matter what label they wear
nah mate labels matter when they use 'em to justify spying on students
Actually, the US definition of 'far-left terrorism' is problematic because it conflates protest with violence. NZ's approach is more nuanced and evidence-based. But I wouldn't expect the Herald to explain that.
you think nuance stops a bomb? okay mate
so the US wants us to crack down on 'far-left' but they won't even call out white supremacy? classic 💀
seen both sides cause grief, just lock up the violent ones regardless of politics. not hard.

get stuffed. people love their labels more than results.
ah yes more surveillance powers disguised as 'focus on behaviour'. heard that one before.
you say that when NZ already has more surveillance per capita than most countries. But sure, keep trusting the spooks.
waste of time arguing labels. just deal with the bastards planting bombs.
NZ spooks got it right. don't give terrorists the publicity of a fancy title, just lock 'em up and move on.
then why are you commenting on a politics article, should be out there locking up criminals yourself lol
wish they'd focus this much energy on actual crime instead of political chest-thumping
literally this. they'd rather chase boogeymen than fix public housing.
