The Defence Minister is
assuring former army cadets who are alleging they were abused more than 25
years ago that they will be given an independent inquiry. Dozens of former cadets
at the Army's Waiouru Cadet School say they were sexually and physically
abused during in a period between the 1960s and 1980s. Defence Minister Mark
Burton says he has consulted with the Attorney General and is now bringing
together advice from other agencies who will investigate the issues raised. He says those who have
concerns need to come forward, so as to define the scope of an investigation. |
