Bernie Monk, father of Pike River victim: "10 years on, we still haven't got justice"

We are publishing below a slightly edited speech by Bernie Monk, whose son Michael was one of 29 men who died in the 2010 Pike River mine disaster. The speech was recorded and played in the May 8 webinar, "Ten years after the Pike River mine disaster: Political lessons in the fight for truth about the deaths of 29 miners." The webinar was hosted by the Socialist Equality Group (SEG) in New Zealand, to discuss the causes of the 2010 Pike River disaster and the efforts by successive New Zealand governments, aided and abetted by the trade unions and the entire political establishment, to protect the corporate criminals responsible.
