The inquiry was New Zealand's biggest and most expensive to date, costing about NZ$170m ($101m; £78m).Many of those abused have come from disadvantaged or marginalised communities, including Māori and Pacific people, as well as those with disabilities.
The findings come as vindication for a people who have found themselves facing down powerful officialdom, the state, and religious institutions - and often struggling to be believed.Faith-based institutions often had higher rates of sexual abuse than state care, the inquiry found.Civil and faith leaders fought to cover up abuse by moving abusers to other locations and denying culpability, with many victims dying before seeing justice, the report said.
Weighing 14kg, it was brought together over 100 days of public hearings - starting back in 2018.Speaking at its launch, the then Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said it was a "chance to confront our history and make sure we don’t make the same mistakes again".
More than 2,300 survivors spoke to the inquiry, which found that in most cases, "abuses and neglect almost always started from the first day".
One survivor, Anna Thompson, told the commission how she was physically and verbally abused at a faith-based orphanage."There's not a spade in the ground and at the end of the day it's our money that's paying for this."
Northumberland County Council said it would hold a public meeting but, with no date yet announced, parents have organised their own gathering on 7 March.Ms Reilly-Blake said she was worried children would be attending schools which were "just building sites".
"We're talking four or five years of this, and we really really feel they're just laughing at us and that we don't matter, but we mean business," she added.A Northumberland County Council spokesperson said an "enormous amount of work has been done" and parents had been involved "every step of the way".
