LOVED taking to Lyse Doucet at Auckland Writers Festival. She was an absolute treat. Warm, hilarious, and driven by centring people in conflict. #AWF26
Let’s just say there was a lot going on ..
Who exactly ..
I was on the phone this morning with one of the women who has told her story for the Sir Rod Drury/Xero investigation when a media release arrived in my inbox, taking me straight back to 1986..
“The question has always been what will replace the 1989-vintage standards regime. We don’t think “nothing” is the right answer.”
In a draft report sent to Rod Drury Xero replaced Ally Naylor’s name with “the complainant”. But missed one.
I spent some time looking at stopping-violence programmes and concerns within the sector about what’s working v what’s not, and whose voice is missing.
Equippers Church launched a review after our reporting of complaints about how it had dealt with sexual assault and abuse allegations. That review into “survivor-centred processes” has been completed. It did not speak to the survivors.
