Te Oranga Home enquiry fuels social tensions in Christchurch
The Te Oranga Home enquiry exposes a social wave of emotionalism and exaggerated charges.

He notes inadequate accommodation and classification as causes for corporal punishment, urging reforms while defending overall management. The minister and public will be surprised at how little adverse comment is warranted.
