The Prime Minister's Office has confirmed it received a copy of a "manifesto" from the alleged gunman less than 10 minutes before the attacks began on Friday - along with about 70 other recipients.
Other politicians on the mailing list included National leader Simon Bridges and Parliament's Speaker Trevor Mallard.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's office received alleged gunman's manifesto, along with several other MPs, before Friday's attack.
Most of the other recipients were media, both domestic and international, a spokesman for Jacinda Ardern confirmed. The Herald was not listed among recipients.
It had been framed as though events had occurred, he said.
"The mail was setting his reasons for doing it. He didn't say this is what I am about to do. There was no opportunity to stop it."
