A Gloriavale leaver has outlined his 'livid' reaction to yesterday's apology from community leader Howard Temple.

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."
