Parents refuse to be part of Oranga Tamariki review

From Morning Report, 7:10 am on 29 October 2019

The parents of a baby at the centre of an attempted removal by Oranga Tamariki are refusing to be part of a government review, saying they don't trust the investigation will be fair, or independent.

The inquiry will look into the attempted removal of a six-day-old baby from its 19-year-old mother at Hawke's Bay Hospital.

Advocates for the family have told our political reporter Jo Moir the review by Oranga Tamariki lacks credibility.
