Minister won’t rule out closing Gloriavale

Social Development Minister Louise Upston says she is “extremely concerned” by revelations that Gloriavale parents were allegedly once taught to cover babies’ mouths and noses as discipline, a practice likened to suffocation.

Following the Royal Commission into Abuse in Care, a 10-minister working group has been established to oversee government action, with agencies including Police, Oranga Tamariki and Health New Zealand now visiting the West Coast commune several times a week.

Upston confirmed to legacy media (paywalled) all options remain open — including potentially closing Gloriavale — to “ensure child safety”. The commune claims the method ended in 2016 and that new parenting programmes are in place. Meanwhile, its private school faces deregistration after failing consecutive audits.

  2. It’s a cult similar to Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate, the Mormons, and Jehovah Witnesses.
    Hell…ALL religions are cults and attract the many who CANNOT THINK FOR THEMSELVES and take the words of deceivers as ‘God’s true gospel’..!
    All three Abrahamic Religions are of their Father the Devil, as they have been in conflict with each other for thousands of years!!!
    For even the very elect (Ministers, Pastors, Reverends, Fathers, Vicars, Bishops, Cardinals, etc.) are deceived..!

  3. Yeah, saw the doco, closing them down is, I feel, a good thing (mind you, I’d say the same thing about the Catholic church, too) but the reality is these religious groups, always keep popping up somewhere else.
