The deadline for the
report into abuse claims at the former army cadet school in Waiouru has been
extended. Former High Court Judge
David Morris, who was appointed last November to inquire into the behaviour
and treatment of cadets at the school between 1948 and 1991, was to have
completed his report by the end of this month. "He's taking a bit
longer than initially thought," a spokeswoman for Defence Minister Mark
Burton said. Judge Morris is
understood to be in Australia interviewing former cadets. Former army sergeant
Ian Fraser, who sparked the controversy by writing about abuse at the school,
said Justice Morris met him in Perth last week. "By the sounds of
things, there seems to be a reasonable strong body of evidence that the
claims made in my article are being substantiated." |
