Good morning, I'm never ready Manu, and this is your
morning Newswix for Thursday, twenty fifth of July. In this update,
a dark stain on New Zealand. The extent of abuse
and neglect against New Zealanders in the care of the
state and faith based institutions has been revealed. The Minister
in charge of the Crown Response, Erica Stanford, describes the

(00:25):
stories of the survivors as horrific. She says these children
needed love and care, but were instead placed in facilities
and homes which were hell holes. At the boot camps
on Great Barrier, boys were forced to dig their own grapes.
They were made to lie face down in those holes
while they were being shot at. They screamed and they
were terrified. The final report from a nearly six year

(00:46):
long Royal Commission of Inquiry was tabled in Parliament yesterday.

thousand young people and vulnerable adults faced neglect and abuse
from nineteen fifty to twenty nineteen. The inquiry shows physical
and sexual abuse was common, including some victims being trafficked

significant apologies, financial redress and for a new independent agency
to take over commissioning care services. National MARDI Urban Authority

the Pope and other religious leaders are vital. She says

and churches are taking the lead and addressing the historic
abuse of people and their care. Lawyers for thousands of survivors,
Sonya Cooper says apart from the Catholic Church, faith groups
are doing more than the government. She says they pay
out more, accept stories and improve their practices. And new

our migrant attraction policies. Thomas Rice reports.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
New Zealand's current Foreign Investment Fund means some migrants and
returning expacts are being taxed on investments they made before

step with the rest of the OECD and doesn't match
our aspirations to attract and retain global talent and investment.

ability to attract the world's finest, but we're shooting ourselves
