The Prime Minister will apologise for abuse in care later this year.

A major report into the history of abuse in care and faith-based institutions is being tabled in Parliament today after six years of hearings.

Recommendations will be made and New Zealand's history of abuse will be laid bare.

Abuse in care survivor and advocate Ken Clearwater told Mike Hosking many people have not been believed.

“You’re telling your truth and everyone’s calling you a liar, so this is an opportunity to validate what actually happened to these kids.”
