Hon ANDREW LITTLE: I stand with all New Zealanders who are absolutely appalled and outraged at the fact that a little infant boy sits in a hospital bed in Auckland because those who were charged with looking after him and loving him and caring for him did not do so. That is an outrage on the values of all New Zealanders and New Zealand. However, we need to make sure that when the police are conducting their inquiries, they do so with a legal framework that means that they get to do their job but without encroaching on basic rights and protections that every citizen has. Right now, the police are struggling to find someone to give any indication about who might have been in close proximity to that boy as they conduct their investigation. What I also pity is the fact that in these very difficult situations when the police are trying to do their job, when a community is trying to support the police in doing their job, there are those who would take political advantage.
