Download AudioMāori health advocate Lady Tureiti Moxon says redress for the survivors of abuse in state care needs to be treated like the accident compensation system, with a never-ending pot.
Asked by Radio Waaatea for an estimate on likely compensation, she said $2 billion didn’t sound unreasonable.
She said while Governments claim they have no money, they can always find it for things they want to do.
“They’re meant to put it right. They created the issue and they have to take responsibility for it for the lives that have been badly damaged by their actions, successive crown actions,” she says.
Lady Moxon says the sad reality is there are still people being accused in care, so the system need to cover those who come later.
