The brother of a man who died after the tragic Whakaari/White Island eruption says a guilty plea by GNS Science means it's taking the rap for the failings of others.
The Crown Research Institute this week pled guilty to charges related to multiple field trips its staff took to the island before the eruption, and the institute's failure in its duty to the helicopter pilots who were contractors.
Mark Inman, brother of tour guide Hayden Marshall-Inman, says GNS Science is a scapegoat for Worksafe who failed to protect his brother.
He spoke to Tim Watkin this morning.
