"It is incumbent on the court to respond in a way that decisively rejects such vicious malevolence," judge Cameron Mander said.
He had admitted to 51 charges of murder, 40 of attempted murder and one of terrorism after reversing not-guilty plea earlier. New Zealand does not have the death penalty.
The verdict was announced after four days of hearing.
