and he fabricated evidence to support his charge. Because I needed a job I confessed to something I didn't do! Now 2 years later he pretends that nothing happened. How do I get past my fellings of injustice?

I am choosing plezurgui as the best answer. Most realistic, pratical.

Confessions make it a LOT more difficult. Well, you got the job didn't you? And that is why you confessed? He acts like nothing happened, so what is the problem?
You need to get over it. You missed your chance for vindication and took the easy way out. But now you ARE out. I don't know about statutes of limitations in NZ, but it is probably too late to do anything legally. First work very hard to make yourself indispensable then find yourself a better job and leave.

Some things in life are like roadblocks, while others are like an unpaid electricity bill.... sooner or later you have to attend it to. It's not going away.
First, check around for alternate employment. See what kind of job you could get. Maybe you will find you don't need this one so much after all.
Once you are confident you could get another good job, confront your boss about the phony evidence he fabricated. Tell him that unless he confesses to having made it all up, you will take this to HIS boss. The problem with this is, he may think the company will fire HIM for having lied. So, be ready for a fight (or maybe, you have him over a barrel; he can't risk you bringing this to the attention of his boss.)
Of course, make sure ahead of time that he can't summarily fire you on the spot before you'd have a chance to meet with his boss.
I don't think you'll ever get over these feelings of having been wronged. This is something you can't avoid forever, or you'll always be bitter. It will prey upon your mind for years.

Engage him in conversation, and wear a wire.
Get him to outline each fabrication in detail.
At the end, pick up an apple or some other innocuous-looking object and say "this is a tape recorder. Do you mind if I recorded you?"
He will probably say "No," and laugh.
Got him!
Sue him for defamation, libel, fraud, et al. Sue the company, too!
They will settle; and if they fire you thereafter, you have grounds for a discriminatory firing lawsuit, as well.
Money time! Speak with an attorney...

Hire an attorney now. I think the only way to get past your feelings of injustice is to fight and make things right.

Admit you screwed up by confessing. If there was any injustice, it was your fault. I would also get a new job.

Hire an attorney, and invest in a small pocket tape or digital recorder, and even tape your home phone calls, just in case,,?? Good Luck,,??

If you said you did it,you did it.
It's your fault,injustice or not.
Job or no, you should have never confessed.

You should never have confessed, now you're stuck. Either stick it out or move on.
