'Failure': Tamatha Paul lambasts OT's refusal to release bootcamp reoffending details

The pressure's on Oranga Tamariki - as it announces it won't release more details around bootcamp reoffending.

The Ministry for Children initially confirmed teens in the pilot military-style academy programme had offended again.

It's since said releasing information could've been harmful to those involved.

Green MP Tamatha Paul says the agency is shifting the goalposts.

"That is one of the measures of success for the pilot, so I think it's really important that we do know."

Paul claims Oranga Tamariki doesn't want to publish the data because the programme's been a failure.
