The Petition of Lynley Hood and Don Brash and 807 others

We the undersigned petition the House of Representatives to urge the Government to establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry, presided over by a Judge or Judges from outside the New Zealand jurisdiction, to enquire into all aspects of the investigation and legal processes relating to the Christchurch Civic Creche case.

The case is one of great public and professional concern, and raises serious questions about the administration of justice and the working of existing laws which must be addressed.
