Former National Party MP Anthony 'Aussie' Malcolm likely sexually abused children
Aussie Malcolm likely engaged in coercive and/or criminal sexual conduct with "multiple young boys". Photo: Malcolm Pacific Immigration/Supplied Former National Party Cabinet minister Aussie Malcolm likely engaged in coercive and/or criminal sexual conduct with "multiple young boys", a police review reveals. Anthony 'Aussie' Malcolm died in September last year aged 83. Following his death it was revealed there had been at least three police investigations into alleged sexual abuse . Police then launched a review of historical complaints in relation to Malcolm. A summary of the review was released to RNZ on Monday under the Official Information Act. The document says review was initiated following referrals from the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in State Car concerning historical sexual assault allegations against Malcolm. Allegations spanned from 1992 to 2018 and involved multiple complainants, all male and underage at the time of the alleged incidents. The review concludes that Malcolm "likely engaged in coercive and/or criminal sexual conduct with multiple young boys". "While no charges were laid during his lifetime, the cumulative evidence - had it been available and considered together - could have supported prosecution, particularly in the Complainant C case." "The review highlights systemic issues in historical file retention and inter-agency communication, which hindered earlier detection and action." Malcolm was first elected as MP for Eden in 1975 defeating the then-upcoming politician and future Prime Minister Mike Moore. He held one of New Zealand's most marginal electorates for three elections, but was defeated when National lost power in 1984. A staunch supporter of then Prime Minister Robert Muldoon, he was promoted to be a parliamentary under-secretary in 1978 and to Cabinet in 1981. He served as immigration minister from February 1981 and was also appointed to the contentious health portfolio after the 1981 election. As immigration minister he approved the visas given to the South African rugby team, allowing their controversial tour of New Zealand to go ahead . After his election defeat he set up one of the first immigration advice consultancies, Malcolm Pacific Immigration, and was prominent in the Association of Migration and Investment, cowriting its code of ethics. In 1986 and 1987 he was one of the businesspeople backing New Zealand's first America's Cup Campaign.

Woman appears in court after toddler found in InterCity bus luggage compartment
A woman has appeared in the the North Shore district court after a two-year-old was found in a bus luggage compartment. Photo: RNZ / Cole Eastham-Farrelly A 27-year-old woman has appeared in North Shore District Court charged with ill-treating a child, after a two-year-old was found in a bag in a bus luggage compartment. The toddler was discovered early Sunday afternoon by a driver of an InterCity bus from Whangārei to Auckland. Police were called at 12.50pm after a passenger asked for access to the luggage compartment during a planned stop in Kaiwaka, Northland. The child had been in the suitcase for nearly an hour wearing only a nappy, RNZ understands. She was taken to hospital in a "minor" condition for an extensive medical assessment. The bus had stopped at this Kaiwaka carpark leading to the Tulip Cafe, Motel. Photo: Kim Baker Wilson / RNZ In the charge document in the North Shore District Court, police said the child likely suffered adverse affects to health including suffocation, dehydration, carbon monoxide poisoning, heat exhaustion and psychological trauma. The actions were a "major departure from the standard of care expected of a reasonable person", the charge said. The woman entered no plea through her lawyer. She was calm as she appeared in the dock wearing a light coloured hoodie, her hair in a low bun. She turned away as media were granted permission to film her, however any details identifying her are suppressed for now. She will be seen by a forensic psychology team before another appearance later this week.
