Episode Description

There are new developments in the case of the Christchurch terrorist — the Australian man who murdered 51 people at two mosques in New Zealand in 2019 — who is now seeking to overturn his guilty plea and appeal his sentence.

The Christchurch massacre remains the deadliest act of extremist violence committed by an Australian.

In Secrets We Keep: Lone Actor, journalist Joey Watson retraces the terrorist’s trajectory in the years leading up to the attack, revealing the networks, influences, and failures that shaped one of the most devastating crimes in our region.

Joey speaks with survivors, researchers, and those who crossed the attacker’s path, as he begins to uncover a far more complex story. What, or who, led him to violence?
