There's a small space for women's voices

I've started on the report. There's actually a lot of other interesting stuff on the website, which I will be writing about as well (the short version is that the process was apalling).

There has been some good media, which allowed women who to have a voice. Close Up had Louise Nicholas and Judith Garrett, who were suitably scoffing of Howard Broad's blitherings.*

Nine to Noon dedicated the first hour to the report, and had Louise Nicholas, and a woman who had given evidence to the inquiry. I'm not going to link to Morning Report's coverage - because one of those misogynist fuckwits suggested to Judith Garrett that since the man who raped her was acquitted then the police did the right thing by covering it up.

Last night Close Up had another woman who had been raped by Rotorua police in the 1980s. She was so incredibly strong and clear in the interview.
