Abuse survivor and advocate travels to Wellington for Abuse in Care Inquiry speeches

Checkpoint

After nearly six years, the Abuse in Care Royal Commission of Inquiry's final report has been made public and outlined in harrowing detail how children, young people and vulnerable adults were sexually abused, willfully neglected and often treated without compassion. Some of those survivors filled the public gallery to hear the government's response to it this afternoon - many crying, nodding and hugging one another during the speeches. Abuse survivor and advocate Ken Clearwater, paid his own way to get from Christchurch to Wellington today to be in Parliament for those speeches, he spoke to Susana Lei'ataua.
