The Panel Plus: Gloriavale

The Panel Plus: Gloriavale

| RNZ | The Panel Plus |

Wallace Chapman talks to Dr Rebecca Meiring, senior lecturer in exercise sciences at Auckland University about her research into the relationship between lifestyle behaviours and menopause.

Then he talks to Decult director Anke Richter about New Zealand’s history of cults and whether we need dedicated legislation to protect people from coercive groups. Anke Richter had a 10 min cult chat with Wallace Chapman last night to answer some of his questions about Centrepoint: Why it wasn’t shut down by the Government but by survivors, how history is repeating itself with Gloriavale, and why religious freedom has nothing to do with cults but diffuses the issue (which is coercive control, not a faith or belief system).
