by Ian Fraser - A former cadet at the New Zealand Army Waiouru Cadet School
is working to raise awareness of what he says was widespread physical,
psychological and sexual abuse of cadets as young as 15 at the school in the
1960s, 70s and 80s. He hopes to get Government to support for Army staff who
have had problems in later life as a result of their negative experiences.

by Ian Fraser - Lauded as the prime source of the New Zealand Army's future
Senior NCOs and Officers, for 50 years the Regular Force Cadet School has
kept secret a far more sinister aspect to its existence. It started as a
night like any other for the cadets at the Army's Waiouru-based Regular Force
Cadet School. At 9.10 pm on 13 Feb 1981, a teenage boy was confronted by a
Corporal wielding an M16 rifle.

Defence Minister Mark Burton says tonight that Ron Mark's sad attempt to garner
publicity off the grief of a New Zealand family is sad and pathetic. Mr Mark
did indeed write to me in 2002, regarding some concerns raised by the family
of Grant Bain, a cadet who died at the Regular Force Cadet School in Waiouru
in 1981.
