In 2022, the Supreme Court used the idea of damage to a person's mana to overturn Peter Ellis' historic convictions for child sexual abuse.  In two more recent cases – Green v Police, and Sweeney v Prison Manager of Spring Hill Corrections Facility – the courts too engaged with the concept of mana.  Wire host Sofia Roger Williams spoke to lecturer at the University of Canterbury's Faculty of Law, Rachael Evans (Ngāti Tama, Ngāti Pamoana), about the significance of the precedents they set and how the courts have measured mana. She began the interview asking her about these cases and how each of them engaged with the concept of mana.

How about this? I found myself agreeing this morning with someone who has been described as a racist dinosaur. To a point.  This lefty wokester, that some people seem to think I am, actually agrees with this Kings Council lawyer who disagrees with tikanga Māori being compulsory for students doing a law degree at university from next year.  I agree with someone who has been described as (quote) “a racist dinosaur who should quietly go and die in a corner”. How about that?  But to a point. That's the key bit.  Gary Judd is his name. Or Gary Judd KC to be precise. And what he's done, is he's made a formal complaint to the Government's Regulations Review Committee over this new requirement that's due to come into force next year.  Now, for the purposes of this discussion, the general understanding of tikanga Māori is that it's the way of doing things within Māori society.  So, it's about principles, processes, procedures, and traditional knowledge. The customary rules which govern Māori life. Broadly, it's what's known as customary law. Law based on customs. As opposed to common law.   Gary Judd KC says tikanga actually has nothing to do with Common Law. And Winston Peters is an instant fan, saying that forcing law students to study tikanga Māori is just what he calls "woke indoctrination".  He says: “Law students should not be force-fed this kind of woke indoctrination from some culture warrior's slanted version of what tikanga means.”  Which is kind of what Gary Judd KC is saying too. Although, the complaint he's made to the Government's Regulations Review Committee seems to be focussed on tikanga being what he calls “a belief system” and not what he calls a "proper law subject".   And because he sees it as being a belief system, he doesn't think it's relevant to be a compulsory element of a law degree.  And I agree with him. On the compulsory bit.  But I think any law student worth their salt would be an idiot to think they can ignore tikanga. Which is why I think it should be voluntary, not compulsory.  And I say that because I think tikanga Māori is something of a horse that has already bolted. What I'm getting at there, is that Māori principles, processes, procedures, and traditional knowledge can't be ignored.  You might be someone who wants to ignore them. But if you're happy living under a rock, then good luck to you.  But if someone reckons they're going to make a good fist of being a lawyer in New Zealand in the 21st century, then they can forget about landing a job at any of the big law firms if they don't understand Māori customary law.   They can forget about getting involved in environmental law. They can certainly forget about becoming an in-house lawyer at any of the government departments, or local councils. They can forget about getting involved in criminal law.  That's because Māori customary law —or tikanga— has become so entwined in our legal system.  If you want a recent and very local example, here it is: Peter Ellis who was convicted for offences at the old Civic Creche, in Christchurch.   In 2019, the Supreme Court allowed him to appeal his convictions but he died a few months later. Nevertheless, his sexual offending convictions were quashed after he died, because the Supreme Court considered his appeal —even though he was no longer alive— based on tikanga.  Normally, a person's legal proceedings die with them. But Ellis' lawyers argued that tikanga, the customary rules which govern Māori life, was part of New Zealand's common law.  Under tikanga, Ellis had the right to clear his name or re-establish his mana, even after he died.   The Crown did not oppose the argument, agreeing that tikanga had a place in New Zealand law, and his name was cleared. Even though he wasn't alive to see it happen.  So that's why I think anyone wanting to be a lawyer should study tikanga Māori. But only if they want to. And I agree with Gary Judd KC who says it shouldn't be compulsory. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Peter Ellis was released from prison in 2000 - but that was by no means the end of the story. This episode looks at life after prison and the huge impact this case has had on the whole country.

Peter Ellis spent more than seven years in prison, for a crime he says he didn't commit. He and others describe his time behind bars and the many surprises and revelations he faced.

Tensions run high as the High Court trial of Peter Ellis reaches its conclusion.

The High Court trial into child abuse at the Christchurch Civic Creche begins on Monday, 26 April, 1993. Peter Ellis is charged with 28 counts against 13 children.

As the divisions in the community intensify, one year on from those first allegations, the preliminary court hearing against Peter Ellis and the four women begins.

Four female creche workers are arrested in a series of raids on their homes. A damning report into the creche culture is release and the child care centre is abruptly closed.

The children's stories get more and more bizarre and suddenly, others are in the frame too.

As more and more children come forward with accounts of abuse, we look at what the role the parents, police and expert child interviewers may have played.

Peter Ellis is arrested and charged with child sexual abuse. Creche parents are panicked and horrified. But what has really been happening at the creche?

Just over a year ago the Supreme Court quashed Peter Ellis' convictions - the first time this has ever been done posthumously in New Zealand. One of the biggest podcasts to come out of New Zealand, Conviction launches today. It's taken 5 years to put together and includes some of the last interviews Peter would ever do, and interviews people who have never spoken out before. It's an in-depth look at this complex and divisive case that tries to give a fair voice to all involved, all those who have suffered over the years. Stephen Ferguson was the prison chaplain and then close friend to Peter Ellis and was key in getting Peter to speak on the podcast.

There's fear and confusion after a child says 'I don't like Peter's black penis'. A second accusation causes the investigation to be ramped up.

Who was Peter Ellis, the childcare worker at the centre of the accusations and how did he come to work there? Meet people with many different connections to what was to become New Zealand's most notorious child sexual abuse case.

As more and more children came forward with claims of sexual abuse, we ask whether international events were influencing the case in Christchurch.

A new podcast detailing the ins and outs of the controversial Christchurch Civic Creche case launched Friday 29 September. It's nearly a year since Peter Ellis had his convictions quashed in a landmark Supreme Court decision. This new comprehensive 12-part series looks into how he came to be accused and jailed from crimes that he's since been acquitted of. RNZ podcast producer Liz Garton filed this preview.

What really happened at the Christchurch Civic Creche in the late 1980s and early 1990s? Was Peter Ellis wrongly convicted or should we believe the children. Listen to RNZ's new podcast and make up your own mind.

The aunt of one of the first complainants in the Peter Ellis sex abuse case accepts the legal process was flawed, but believes the former teacher is still guilty. The child in her family was interviewed by police, but was not one of the seven who Ellis was convicted of abusing. Today the Supreme Court quashed Peter Ellis' child abuse convictions, for two main reasons: flawed evidence from an expert witness resulted in a substantial miscarriage of justice, and the jury was not properly informed about the significant risk the child complainants evidence could be contaminated, including from the parents. Lisa Owen asked the aunt how her and other families were dealing with the court ruling. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6313393951112

The Supreme Court has quashed the convictions of Peter Ellis, the Christchurch creche worker who was convicted of child sex offences in 1993, finding a significant miscarriage of justice. Today's verdict marks the end of a 30-year battle by Ellis to clear his name, a decision that came three years after his death. But the parents of children of Christchurch Civic Creche say they're shocked and saddened by the decision. Jamie Tahana reports.

Almost 30 years after he was sent to prison Peter Ellis' child sex abuse convictions were today quashed by the Supreme Court. He served seven years in prison after being convicted in 1993 of 16 charges of sexual offending against seven children at the Christchurch creche where he worked. Stephen Ferguson was the prison chaplain at Paparua Prison when he got to know Peter Ellis in maximum security. He and his wife Pamela later became friends with Peter and were with him in the days leading up to his death from cancer in 2019. Stephen told Lisa Owen the decision came with mixed emotions.

After 30 years, Peter Ellis' convictions for child sexual abuse have been quashed. Listen to full story and hear reporter Martin van Beynen discuss the Supreme Court judgment.

Weeks before he died, Peter Ellis told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking in an exclusive interview he was "feeling quite excited" about the impending Supreme Court hearing, but hoped to live to see it happen. After three decades, the Supreme Court has today called the investigation and Ellis' trial a miscarriage of justice, and quashed his convictions. It's found the evidence of an expert witness didn't inform the jury of other possible causes of the children's behaviour and simply shouldn't have been admitted. Ellis served seven years of a 10 year jail sentence. Over time, some convictions were overturned, but he died before the remaining 13 could be tested in the Supreme Court. "Somebody said to me 'it looks like the crèche case is pulling into the station' and I said 'well I hope my train isn't going out first',” he told Mike Hosking in August 2019. "It's taken a long time, but I am very optimistic.” Ellis was brought to tears when he spoke of what it had been like living with the convictions for all of these years, but he chose to focus on the positives. "I have friends I never knew I had and expert witnesses that turned up; people who read Lynley Hood's book A City Possessed; and other people who have stumbled upon their own things and had their own life experiences and suddenly realised 'oh Peter Ellis has been through something similar'," he said. "The North Canterbury community have looked after me. It's been 19 years since I have been out of jail and I can walk through my community and the children there call out to me. "They don't look at me in a different way anymore because they have actually known me and they trust in what they see." He said clearing his name is not only important to him, but all the people who have fought in his court over the years - some of whom have died. "It becomes important when the number of people who have supported me and helped me over the years that have passed away; the stories that haven't been told of parents that chose sides and their marriages broke up; the crèche children that didn't believe it happened – so there is that particular aspect of it. "There is also my mother who put her time into this - those people who have slipped away and have deserved an answer," he said. Ellis hoped that if he dies before the hearing, these people may still get closure. "I am hoping that the select committee might look at putting in something that would safeguard someone's right to still clear their name even when they have passed away," he said. "There should be a mechanism if someone has shown intent to push on with their case, worked hard on the case, was shown intent to go for compensation - that his family have the right to have his name cleared, as do I."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whatever the outcome of the Peter Ellis Supreme Court hearing today, the Ellis case raises a whole bunch of questions. For the Court to consider the arguments posthumously means this decision will without doubt have consequences. So it could set a precedent. If the argument carries, and if say those convictions are quashed, then relatives and friends of other people who've gone to their graves with their character in tatters, what do they do? If it was your father, or brother, or sister or whatever, would you give up on their innocence after they'd gone? Probably not. It's nearly 30 years since Ellis was convicted. He was found guilty on 16 child abuse charges after a jury trial and sentenced to 10 years. But as we know, three of those charges were later quashed after a supposed victim admitted she'd lied in court to please her Mum. Ellis eventually served seven years, and once he was out launched several appeals and requests for inquiries, battling to clear his name. The Supreme Court will tell us today whether that should have been enough to put all the other convictions in doubt. And we'll learn why it was that the Supreme Court felt it was appropriate to hear the appeal after Ellis' death. The fact he protested his innocence right until the end is neither here nor there, you can read that any way you want. And that won't have influenced the judges one iota. They were asked to decide on the mana of a deceased person beyond their death. And the decision will reveal what they made of that argument, that Ellis had a right to clear his name and re-establish his mana beyond the grave. If the appeal succeeds, others will undoubtedly follow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A lawyer thinks today's Supreme Court decision on the Peter Ellis case will have legal impact cross the nation. The court will deliver its decision at 2pm on the appeal of Ellis, who died in 2019. The decision of the court to continue with his appeal after his death is an unprecedented posthumous argument using tikanga Māori. Peter Ellis was convicted of child abuse at the Christchurch Civic Creche in 1992. He spent seven years in jail but always maintained his innocence. Ellis' former lawyer Nigel Hampton KC told Tim Dower it could be a groundbreaking ruling that allows the family of a dead person the right to continue with an appeal, to clear that person's name.

What's not to like here? Marius Kociejowski is charming, erudite and funny. Why should you listen to him? He's just written a memoir about the soul of the book trade. What happens in bookstores doesn't happen elsewhere​ he says. The multifariousness of human nature is more on show​ here​ ​t​han anywhere else, he says, and ​"​I think it's because of books, what they are, what they release in ourselves, and what they become when we make them magnets to our desires.”​   The ​memoir is called A Factotum in the Book Trade.  We talk about it and the lives of the booksellers​, collectors and characters ​Marius has​​ lived ​with for close to five decades​. He reveals secrets and describes feuds. He gives us a wonderful feel for the workings of the London Antiquarian book trade over the past fifty years.
