NEWS RELEASE FROM IAN WISHART
The Facebook page on Macsyna King is dishonest. They have known all along that Macsyna has neither sought nor been offered any money or compensation for the book Breaking Silence by Ian Wishart.
Still, the anonymous woman behind the Boycott Macsyna site continues to peddle her claim, knowing it to be untrue.
Thousands of other commenters on that site have also made erroneous statements, often from ignorance (one of the things the book aims to correct).
An example is the oft-repeated claim that after going to the doctor's and being told to go to hospital, that Macsyna and Chris Kahui instead went to McDonalds.
They did not. They had stopped at McDonalds on the way to the doctor. Macsyna had been told by Chris that there had been a breathing incident the night before but that the twins were alright. This was now a number of hours later.
It wasn't until they got to the doctor that Macsyna realised there was something wrong. When the doctor told her to take the children to hospital, she thought it best to grab fresh nappies and their medications and Plunket books. Chris Kahui was driving, but sprinted away from the car leaving the injured babies alone in the back seat while Macsyna was getting their Plunket books.
We are releasing audio from Macsyna's interviews to illustrate the difficulties she was having getting Chris to take them to hospital:
This is a tiny part of the book. There is much more that sheds light on the events leading up to and following the deaths. There is now a Facebook page in support of free speech and your right to read books...If you don't like being told what you are allowed to read, visit that site.
