A scathing report by a powerful parliamentary committee in the United
Kingdom has described Kiwi judge Lowell Goddard's refusal to answer
questions in person as "shameful" and "disgraceful". Dame Goddard quit in August as head of the UK inquiry (IICSA)
into cases of historical child sex abuse and, in early November, she
effectively ruled out appearing in person before British MPs.
She was the subject of intense scrutiny during her tenure, hit out at "malicious defamatory attacks" by some media and said she was disappointed there was "no government defence of me in England" when she resigned
