The Christchurch terrorist watches TV - an up date........

The Christchurch terrorist gets to watch two hours of television a day in his prison cell.

Newshub can reveal that the foreign terrorist is allowed to watch HGTV - the 'Home and Garden' channel.

The terrorist has been watching TV for some time, but it has never been made public until now.

Corrections confirmed on Sunday night that **** is only allowed HGTV, which shows mainly American reality-style home and garden makeover shows.

It appears that Corrections is worried about getting sued for damages if it does not allow Tarrant his TV time.

In a statement, Corrections said: "[Corrections must] manage this prisoner's sentence in accordance with the provisions set out in the Corrections Act 2004 and our international obligations for the treatment of prisoners.

"Failure to do so may result in legal proceedings against the department, which could potentially require compensation to be paid to a prisoner."

This is what happens when too many lawyers enter politics. All issues become academic exercises and common sense and practicality wane.
