#BHN Government apology to survivors | Annabel Ahuriri-Driscoll on the apology | Sir Bom put to rest

**Scroll down and give us a hand at the NZ Podcast awards** We'll take a look at the apology made today by the government, opposition and some government agencies to survivors of those abused in state care. How was the apology received, where to from here and will the government accept the offer of a bi-partisan working group on what happens next. Dr Annabel Ahuriri-Driscoll, Co- Chair of the Redress Group for Survivors, joins us LIVE at 9pm to get her thoughts on the apology from the perspective of the group advising to the government, the government no longer wanting their advice, and the concerns they have around that. Sir Robert Gillies was the last of the Māori Battalion and was put to rest today, he was a connection to yesterday in a time where most of those connections are no longer with us. We'll take a look at his final march to a place of rest. ================================= Help us win another listeners choice award, entries close 27 November Head to https://www.nzpodcastawards.com/nominate Enter the podcast name BHN or Big Hairy News Link to the podcast is https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/bhn-big-hairy-news/id1629215711 ================================= Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of ⁠⁠#BHN⁠⁠ www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews⁠ Merch available at www.BHNShop.nz Like us on Facebook www.facebook.com/BigHairyNews Follow us on Twitter. @patbrittenden @Chewie_NZ
