	NZ Herald July 26 2005 The Ellis case Letter to the Editor by Brian Robinson, Hamilton The National Party should be congratulated for being the only party to recognise that the basis of a justice system lies in upholding the rights of an individual. I applaud their commitment to setting up an appropriate inquiry into the Christchurch Creche case and the circumstances of the unfortunate conviction of Peter Ellis. (NZ Herald, 22 July) A solid moral foundation for justice is urgently required. Other social and justice issues associated with race, gender, sexuality, poverty, health, and the Courts, need urgent attention. These can be better addressed by building on such a foundation using the same ethical standards.
