S7 | Fractured Season 2 | Bonus Episode: The Uplift

As we prepare for season two of Fractured, we are publishing this special bonus episode. In 2019, Melanie Reid and the Newsroom team released a groundbreaking video investigation that exposed the practice of newborns being taken directly from hospital birthing units in New Zealand. As with our Fractured series, we questioned the policies, practices and actions of our state agencies. This story sparked four inquiries into Oranga Tamariki and an urgent Waitangi Tribunal hearing. Now, for the first time, that pivotal investigation is available as an audio episode. Listeners can also watch the original video on Newsroom.
