Actor and playwright Oscar Kightley [has announced](https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/07/21/do-high-profile-candidates-make-good-politicians/?ref=goodoil.news) he is running for Henderson-Massey in Auckland’s local elections.

He also argues the Government hasn’t gone far enough to redress the dawn raids of the 1970s. “They were such extraordinary times that I think an apology requires extraordinary compensation.”

A year ago, the NZ Government [formally apologised](https://www.1news.co.nz/2021/08/01/govt-apologises-for-dawn-raids-in-historic-three-hour-ceremony/?ref=goodoil.news) to Pasifika for the dawn raids and provided $2.1 million for academic and vocational scholarships, $1 million in short-term training scholarships and resources for schools to cover the history of the raids.
