The Wanganui Computer Centre bombing occurred in Whanganui, New Zealand, in 1982. The event was carried out to protest New Zealand's ability to record the personal information of citizens which was seen as potentially dangerous by civil libertarians.[1] The Computer Centre continued to operate until its closure in 2005.
