Former state wards who were victims of abuse will deliver a petition and an open letter to Parliament today, calling for a public apology and a full inquiry.
Between 1950 and 1990, more than 100,000 children were taken into state care, many of them Māori.
More than 1000 have told a special panel they were physically and sexually abused, and the government has paid out $17 million and apologised to 900 people.
The National government will not agree to an enquiry
