The Christchurch Civic Creche Case

	The Press July 4 2005 Justice delayed Letter to the Editor by G Mutch, Ilam Your mention of Peter Ellis in reference to Christchurch sex crimes (June 29) highlights the need for the Government to not quietly fade on the Ellis matter. Over two years have been spent so far inquiring into whether there should be an inquiry. It is fair to say that if Justice Minister Phil Goff hadn't come out and publicly supported the Eichelbaum report Mr Ellis's chances of an appropriate inquiry would be that much greater. But probably more of an obstacle for Mr Ellis is that his innocence is common knowledge, with the Government perhaps feeling that the matter thus has little urgency. Hopefully your editorial helps clarify the situation.
