The Defence Minister
has released terms of reference for the inquiry into allegations of abuse at
Waiouru Cadet School. Hundreds of claims of
mistreatment have surfaced since a former Army communications officer, Ian
Fraser, went public with his story. Minister Mark Burton
says the inquiry led by former High Court judge David Morris will look at
complaints from 1948 to 1991. He says that includes
all behaviour and treatment of cadets. Specific provisions
have been made to investigate the death of cadet Grant Bain in 1981. There are also separate
grounds for claims that may amount to criminal offending. Mr Burton expects a
report back by the end of March. |
