There is a pay walled article in the Herald today in which a policy of
the Maory Party to allow Maori to receive NZ Super at age 55-57 is

Many Maori have found that they do not get the racist discrimination
they experience here from any National-led government; and having ACT
and NZ First as part of government makes that worse. Also once they
get a job in Australia they find that health services are better . . .
and that difference is increasing as the current government neglects
public health in its desire to push us towards a USA largely private
system.

Small parties do have to push policies for their constituents - both
ACT and NZ First have had some horror policies (both ones that got implemented and some thankfully not). I have not read the article, but
this is similar to the argument that men should get NZ Super at an
earlier age than women, because they die earlier - the difference has
been between 2 and 3 years for a long time. There is a significant
difference between mortality and morbidity between Pakeha and Maori -
I recall an argument about private companies having higher premiums
for Maori for Health and for Life insurance - the government of the
day said that there should not be that distinction in rates, although companies could increase premiums for some health conditions. At that
time there was a difference of about 2 years between age at death
between male and female, and about another 2 to 3 years between pakeha
and Maori. Since then, the gap has widened to about 5 to 7 years -
pakeha die on average 5 to 7 years later than Maori. That is
considered to have resulted from poorer health outcomes, being a
mixture of poorer diet, more manual work, but the increase over the
years through. Maori tend to eat less well (they cannot afford better
food), go to doctors less (they cannot afford the appointments, and
probably live in an area with lower coverage), and cannot afford
private hospitals for severe and urgent conditions (and as we know
waiting lists have increased markedly for public health services, and
as hospitals use private hospitals more it is getting worse.
So it is fair enough for the suggestion to be raised- essentially they
are cheaper than pakeha - what does equality mean?
I disagree with the policy, and I suspect Labour would as well. The
answer is to address the problem directly, by bringing back having a
good level of public health care, but also by addressing some policies directly to groups that are more susceptible. We have had programmes
that look out for diseases that are inherited from a parent; some
diseases are linked to race, and there is nothing wrong with
programmes directly identifying and treating those most at risk.
So yes TPM may well support Labour because they are likely to address
the health problems that have led to the suggestion. How bad does the difference in life expectancy have to get before the current racist government realise there is a problem?
