There's a saying, an old saying: if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail. Well, National has no plan. Their policies have failed Māori. In fact, they simply don't have policies. They say they want equality of opportunity, but they refuse to articulate a single policy that will help Māori achieve equality. Worse, they say they will cut the new Māori Health Authority completely. History shows that a tweak here, a tweak there doesn't work for health reform. We need to make a fundamental change and I have seen what "by Māori, for Māori", and for everyone else, can do in my own electorate in Taieri, looking at Te Kaika. It's our local health provider.
