What Have We Learned After March 15? w/ Dr. Chris Wilson and Michal Dziwulski: 17 June 2026

Seven years ago, New Zealand suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history, when an Australian white nationalist entered two different mosques in the city of Christchurch and shot 51 muslim worshippers to death, injuring 89 others.

Last week a new book was published entitled ‘He Told Us’, co-written by Chris Wilson and Michal Dziwulski. The book documents the life of the terrorist and the lead-up to the attack, the ideologies and online communities that influenced him, the atrocities he committed on the day, and the aftermath, with a focus on the royal commission and its limitations.

Dr. Chris Wilson is an associate professor in Politics and International Relations at the University of Auckland, and Michal Dziwulski is a researcher currently studying a Master’s degree in Conflict and Terrorism Studies, also at the University of Auckland. They joined producer Toby in the studio to discuss what we’ve learned and what we’ve failed to learn from this horrendous attack.
