“It must be better than this” is the message from children's advocate Dame Lesley Max following the Chief Ombudsman's crack down on Oranga Tamariki.  

Peter Boshier has taken aim at the organisation over its handling of complaints against a man, accused of abusing his partner's young children, despite nine separate reports. 

Great Potentials Foundation Co-Founder, Max says it should not have gone unnoticed.  

She says it's striking there were nine reports of concern when in so many cases there are no reports of concern. 

OT says it's taken the Chief Ombudsman's recommendations on board.
