Defence Minister Mark
Burton is promising an independent inquiry into abuse claims at the Waiouru
Cadet School. Mr Burton says it is
vital the investigation sparked by Ian Fraser's allegations of abuse from the
1960s to the 1980s is seen to be credible and neutral. Mr Burton says he will
take careful advice on the best way to carry out the inquiry, but what is
most important is getting resolution for those affected. Around 60 former cadets
have contacted Mr Burton's office since the story broke this week. The minister says some
of the allegations of sexual abuse and violence were not acceptable then, and
they are not now. |
