There are inequities in our healthcare system that have to be addressed but there are vulnerabilities that exist in all communities. You can cut and slice and dice New Zealand in so many different ways but I do not believe it is helpful to try and slice and dice it based on our race. Whether you are Māori, whether you are a Pākehā New Zealander, Pasifika, Indian - New Zealand, Chinese - New Zealand—any form of New Zealand—everybody deserves good healthcare. But a racially-based and separate parallel Māori Health Authority is not the right way forward.
