BROOKE VAN VELDEN (Deputy Leader—ACT): Thank you, Mr Chair. I'd like to speak to Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) 153 that the ACT Party is putting up. This SOP is fundamentally why we oppose this health reform. In this SOP we are asking for the Government to remove the Māori Health Authority. Now, we believe that behind this health reform there are no better outcomes. All that this health reform is is an exercise in co-governance rather than in healthcare. We think that we need to get back to basics and understand what our healthcare is supposed to deliver. Will this legislation actually lead to better treatments, faster, for more patients, or will it simply deliver a co-governed system that will divide New Zealanders based on their race rather than on their health needs? That goes far—too far—away from the understanding that all New Zealanders have equal rights under the law, and that's what the ACT Party proposes: that we consider healthcare as part of healthcare, rather than co-governance and race-based healthcare.
