OBVIOUSLY BIASED
Mihingarangi Forbes wrote an article for RNZ 'Plans under way to pardon Rua Kenana' published 5 July 2017. In this she claimed the police raped Rua's daughter and others.
Now this was news to me so I found - Rua and the Maori Millennium (Peter Webster) and Mihaia The prophet : Rua Kenana and His Community at Maungapohatu (Judith Binney et al), and looked for evidence of rape carried out by the police. I could find no reference to any cases of rape.
I made sure my views were brought into the public arena and interestingly in an article published by RNZ on 1 September 2017 there is NO mention of the claimed rapes.
I can only assume that Mihi Forbes read what I had claimed and perhaps taken notice of the Waitangi Tribunal when it reported...."We may not feel confident in asserting that rape occurred, but we cannot say it did not".
Do your research properly Mihi and keep your obvious bias under control.
