Report into abuse allegations due

The long-awaited report into allegations of abuse at the Waiouru Cadet School is about to be released.

The Government appointed former High Court Judge David Morris to conduct an inquiry, which was originally due in March.

The Waiouru Cadet School closed in 1991 but numerous allegations of sexual and physical abuse surfaced in recent years.

That was triggered by the lobbying of the Bain family, who demanded an inquiry into the 1981 fatal shooting of their son and brother Grant Bain at the school.

Then Defence Minister Mark Burton ordered the inquiry in October last year but it has been delayed by legal issues.

New Minister Phil Goff will release the findings around midday.
