Gail Parata: Former Silver Ferns Selector on the treatment of Dame Noeline Taurua by Netball NZ

Former Silver Ferns selector Gail Parata has rebuked a lack of due process by Netball New Zealand in standing down coach Dame Noeline Taurua and assistant Debbie Fuller.  The pair have been sidelined after allegations of an unsafe high performance environment, which remain unresolved.  The issues are understood to date back to a Silver Ferns camp in January.  Parata resigned as selector last month in a show of support for Taurua, and she told Mike Hosking no formal complaint was lodged.  She says there’s about 31 people in the Silver Ferns environment, including management and other athletes, and they only spoke to five Silver Ferns and two Junior Silver Ferns.  “Why did they not speak to everyone? That’s really, really disappointing.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
