suffered abuse while in state and faith-based care

It means almost one in three children in care from 1950 to 2019 suffered some form of abuse, including being subject to rape, electric shocks and forced labour

The inquiry was New Zealand's biggest and most expensive to date, costing about NZ$170m ($101m; £78m).

Sue them into the ground

People in care really need to stop visiting New Zealand!
