"Women and girls were raped leading to an outbreak of syphilis in the community."

There needs to be a source for this statement or I'm going to remove it (I have no idea if it is true or not). I've checked all five of the external links. Syphilis isn't mentioned at all. Rape is mentioned only once, in the PDF "Parihaka and the Gift of Non Violent Resistance". That document says, "THE INVASION WAS MARKED BY RAPES", but it is not qualified and no evidence is mentioned. --Cbotman 08:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
