Army abuse inquiry due for release

Defence Minister Phil Goff will release today the report of the inquiry into allegations of abuse at the Army's former cadet training school in Waiouru.

The inquiry was ordered after a former Waiouru cadet, Ian Fraser, claimed in October last year there had been physical, psychological and sexual abuse of cadets as young as 15 at the school from the 1960s to the 1980s. Since he spoke out, about 350 other cadets have come forward with abuse complaints.

The inquiry was carried out by former High Court Judge David Morris.
