“Peter was a goldfish in a shark tank. I was also in the shark tank. There was no empathy. It was an attack on an innocent man. It was an attack on the truth.” These are the words of the oldest and most “compelling and believable” complainant at the centre of the Christchurch Civic Creche […]

Felicity was interviewed on Morning Report today about the forthcoming appeal by Peter Ellis.
