https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/dead-abuse-perpetrators-not-liable

A popular children's author has been asked not to speak at a retreat for Catholic school principals in Central Otago, after defending a disgraced bishop's sexual relationship with a young woman.

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/10/patience-atop-a-tinderbox-all-female-committee-navigates-abortion-reform.html
An all-female select committee tasked with hearing submissions on abortion has navigated a cacophony of contrasts. A submission from doctors was closely followed by a group of Catholic women. Each could not have been more different, but so far the committee has avoided falling into the heated controversies of the End of Life Choice Bill.
