Children as young as 9 were among around 25,000 people with disabilities sterilized in Japan under a now-defunct eugenics law, with 65 percent of the procedures carried out without consent and some being led to believe they were being treated for an illness, the Diet's first report on the issue showed Monday. Based on a parliamentary probe into the reality of the law, effective from 1948 to 1996, the report said sterilization was a condition for admission at some welfare facilities or for marriage.

When inappropriate gifts begin to appear under pillows, the faith of a town's children in the normally reliable tooth fairy begins to wobble. Added to that is the odd behaviour of the new dentist, Miss Root (Emily Harrigan), whose favourite sweet could well be gummy bears. Maternal orphan Alfie (Sam Varley) has a bad case of dentophobia, but teams up with schoolmate Gabz (Georgia Grant-Anderson) and together they drill into the problem. The first half (just 40 minutes) sets up the characters and demonstrates the versatile set, but only a localised gag about an Irish brand of crisps and a puppet cat can get much of a reaction out of the subdued audience.

The tiresome frequency with which Iain Boyle attempts to persuade this district to reject the present Government is very easily disregarded, but his conviction that he understands politics, academia, school curricula and goodness knows what else, very frequently requires challenging — as on June 2nd. Perhaps he would care to enlighten us with answers to the following questions pertaining to his latest ubiquitous outburst. In exactly which universities has he conducted research to determine that they are hotbeds of indoctrination? In which schools — presumably both primary and secondary — has he picked up devious indoctrination of NZ kids? In what public venues, where opinions are aired, has he discovered there is no longer robust debate? Exactly when — time and date please — did this Government, 'claim to be the only source of truth' as he insists? If it 'broke their social licence with their covid bungling', why was it that the entire world was in awe of how rapidly and effectively our attempts were made to contain the virus, triggered by the Government under Jacinda Ardern? When was there a time that universities worldwide did not indoctrinate students, since those holding doctorates were (and still are) required to articulate both knowledge and informed opinion? When was Iain Boyle's golden age in which universities did not reflect prevailing views of the societies they served? (It might assist him to check out religious indoctrination that prevailed throughout Europe's universities for most of the last thousand years.
