An Auckland man has been charged with terrorism.
He is just the second person to face such an allegation in New Zealand's legal history after the alleged Christchurch mosque shooter was charged last year.
The man, who is in his 30s and has interim name suppression, appeared in the High Court at Auckland this morning to face the charge under the Terrorism Suppression Act 2002.
"He considers it a fake charge," the man's lawyer Belinda Sellars, QC, said.
Further details about the case cannot be reported by the New Zealand Herald due to suppression orders.
Justice Paul Davison remanded the man in custody to reappear in April.
