Children's Minister Kelvin Davis has stopped short of saying abuse that closed an Oranga Tamariki residence is systemic, but says the future of staff involved is "up in the air".
Davis said chief executive Sir Wira Gardiner had made the right decision in temporarily shutting the facility down after footage emerged of a young person being tackled and held in a headlock.
"I back him 100 percent. There were a number of factors that fed into him making that decision and it was the right one to make ... I support him in making that decision."
