The Ellis case
Letter to the Editor
by Tim McKinnel  (Onehunga)

Don Brash and the National Party will continue to languish in political polls, and indeed the minds of intelligent New Zealanders, if they persist in courting publicity in matters on which they are uninformed. If Dr Brash had bothered to fully research the Ellis case, he would not have sought political gain in the form of his petition.

Ellis' victims are now being forced to relive their trauma publicly because Dr Brash and people like him refuse to believe that an intelligent, personable man can commit evil acts. Ellis' victims, and those who have an objective view of this case, know they exist.
