A push for the Government to use its powers to begin dismantling Gloriavale. 

The Secretary for Education has cancelled the Christian sect school’s licence, forcing it closed from January.  

The call comes just a week after former leader Howard Temple was sentenced to more than two years in prison for sex offending. 

Leavers' Trust Founder Liz Gregory told Heather du Plessis-Allan she’s now urging the Government to go further, starting with de-registering the community’s charity. 

She expects that to be the next step and anticipates it could be shut down before Christmas.
