The police are still dragging their feet on releasing information about the "imminent threat".
New Zealand prosecutors tend to charge suspects with lesser offences (in this case, firearms violations) to detain them, and then build a larger case from there. In 4GW, this means the State is instantly on the back-foot at the Moral level (the only level of 4GW that counts, in the end).
There have been a number of protests, growing in size, during court appearances of the 17 suspects (specifically Tame Iti - a well-known Tuhoe activist with aspirations of Tuhoe state-hood), and media coverage is generally turning towards criticism of the scale of the raids and force used (officers in full SWAT gear, snipers in helicopters, searches of vehicles including school buses).
Because the suspects have yet to be charged with any terrorism-related offences, the various activist groups involved (and other human rights groups on the periphery) claim the moral victory; the State used excessive force to bring in people whose crime was to own one too many firearms. Given the hunting culture of rural New Zealand, this means that the raids can be framed in a "it could have been you" context.
The police have made vague references to a plot to assassinate or kidnap New Zealand political leaders (Helen Clark, the current Prime Minister, in particular) in preparation to declare the Tuhoe region an independent State, but no real details have emerged.
Without the release of concrete evidence and charges being laid, the State is losing the moral war already. If more information is released, the police risk jeopardising the potential case for terrorism-related charges against the suspects. Welcome to 4GW.
