Clearly the van wasn’t working at the time. If only it had a job!

Was the 'explosion' caused by 'violent extremists?'

Does New Zealand have anything comparable to the Tea Party? If so, they are the likely suspects.

how’s that diversity treating you, new zealand?

in days gone by, today’s ‘diversity based immigration’ would have been called what it was... an invasion and subversive activity by radicals

"Statement by Westfield/Auckland:

We confirm that at approximately 11:30am today a car parked on the perimeter of the Westfield WestCity carpark caught fire. There are no reports of anyone harmed as a result of this event. The NZ Fire Service were quickly on site to extinguish the affected car. There is no evidence that this was more than a mechanical fault. The centre was evacuated as a result of the smoke, and will resume trade as soon as we receive NZ Service clearance. This does not affect any other Westfield centres.

[It’s understood a van is on fire in an underground carpark.]

The underground carpark appears to be on the second floor or higher above street level.
