On Wednesday, a man working in an Auckland Dairy, Janak Patel, was killed by robbers. This has caused a huge concern in New Zealand for several reasons.

The first concern is that shop owners have been asking for protection from robbery for some time. There is government funding to help protect shops with things like bollards and fog cannons, but business owners have had trouble getting their applications granted. The owner of the dairy that was robbed on Wednesday had applied for a fog cannon, but been turned down. The government says that they will investigate to find out how this happened.

The other concern has been reported by Auckland newspaper, the New Zealand Herald. They say that one of the three robbers was deported from Australia recently. We don’t know all of the facts yet, but since 2014 the Australian government has been deporting criminals who were born overseas even though they have lived in Australia for most of their lives. Because many New Zealanders live in Australia, this is creating a lot of problems for New Zealand. Many troubled people are arriving here because of this. The name of the Australian law that allows this is called “Section 501”. You may hear people talking about section 501 quite often when they are discussing the relationship between Australia and New Zealand.

Since Wednesday, people have been gathering around the Auckland dairy to pay their respects. On Sunday, Janak Patel was farewelled in an Auckland funeral, and people will also be holding a silent vigil between 12:30pm and 2:30pm today. The vigil will be outside the office of the Prime Minister in Mt Albert, and the office of the Deputy Prime Minister in Wellington, as a form of protest. People will gather outside other government offices around the country. Shops and dairies will also be closing around the country during this time.
