The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses has repeatedly sought, and failed, to be exempted from the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care, arguing it did not have children in its care so was out of the inquiry's scope.

RNZ senior in-depth investigative reporter Anusha Bradley, joins Emile Donovan to discuss the case.
