A warning an attack similar to the Bondi Beach shooting could feasibly happen on New Zealand soil. 

The Government's intelligence agencies have told a Parliamentary Select Committee the attack helped to feed extremist views. 

Fifteen people were fatally shot in the December attack on a Jewish celebration in Australia's Sydney, with others wounded. 

NZSIS Director-General Andrew Hampton says anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are diseases. 

He told Mike Hosking they’re seeing increased polarisation in society across the board – lots of ‘us and them’ narratives and people with a sense of grievance. 

Hampton says those people look online for others who may share that view, and the risk is that grievance can move to viewing violence as the answer pretty quickly.
