Prime Minister Christopher Luxon today issued an official apology to everyone who was abused in state and faith-based care.

Luxon said the current system for paying redress to survivors is not good enough and announced $32 million of new funding to sort this out.

Seven other public sector leaders have also apologised for their departments’ role in abuse, including Solicitor General Una Jagose.

The crowd met her address with jeers, pushback, tears and booing.

Leoni McInroe is a Lake Alice survivor and attended the apology today. McInroe tells Heather du Plessis-Allan Jagose has been an active part of denying and dismissing survivors stories and should step down.
