‘Insincere’: Former Gloriavale member voices disapproval with leader’s apology
A Gloriavale leaver has outlined his ‘livid’ reaction to yesterday’s apology from community leader Howard Temple.
The Royal Commission of Inquiry requested an apology, after establishing a pattern of abuse.
Temple thanked those who’d reported it – and accepted the Commission’s Safety of Care recommendation.
But former member John Ready says the apology was insincere – and shows a complete lack of understanding of the damage caused.
“The timestamp – 1950 to 1999 – leaves out the majority of the abuse from 2000.”
