I, you know, no one told me I needed to do that. No one counseled me. Often people ask me about that decision. All I remember thinking was, I'm going into the community space.

And so all I really remember from that moment is I packed from Wellington to get ready to go to Christchurch, was calling a friend and asking if she had a scarf I could use. No one counseled me either way. It just felt like the least I could do in that moment. And then there was that famous photograph of you with the scarf, yes.

And in the book, I talk a little bit about that moment because whilst a lot of the commentary was about me, when I was photographed at that time, I was listening to one of the most humbling experiences, which was a leader in the Muslim community who had just watched members of his congregation been...
