Our latest update for you all
3 April 2024
My whanau are extremely grateful for your support, both financially and emotionally.
So much love and kindness shown and shared with us, giving us the strength to continue fighting for Justice for our loved one, Jason.
We were able to pay our legal support for a small portion of what is going to be ongoing.
Unfortunately, we have hit another road block, with the NZ Police admitting they are under resourced, and therefore, have not made any progress with Jason's case.
Without the completion of the police investigation, the coronial Inquest can not begin.
This, in turn, has a ripple effect, as those government agencies involved, are yet to be held to account, including the contractor.
We tried reaching out to the Ombudsman's office by means of lodging formal complaints.
They have also passed the buck, stating they don't want to overlap with the Coroner.
So no one is doing anything, which was highlighted in a recent TVNZ interview we had.
Our whanau are once again left in limbo, in no man's land.
The page has been closed so Thankyou once again.
Whanau of Jason Butler.

To Jason’s family - we are so sorry about this unjust situation. It’s simply not good enough, and a sad indictment on our country. As the parent of a vulnerable person who as a victim has twice been badly let down by the justice system, I’m angered all the more. We all need to demand that the NZ Police is better resourced to deliver justice for EVERYONE. No one should be going in to the too hard basket. Our precious loved ones deserve better.
