COME ON, JOEL – MORE RESEARCH SHOULD SHOW THAT CLASSISM AND THE POX WEREN’T THE ONLY EXPORTS SENT HERE BY THE POMS
ACT leader David Seymour (who is doing nicely in opinion polls) irked many people when he sent out priority vaccination access codes intended for Māori.
The critics (no surprises here) included
Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson, who said the move was “despicable” and she would be writing to Speaker Trevor Mallard about it.
Māori Party co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, who said it was a “low-life move” aimed at intentionally sabotaging the Māori vaccine campaign.
This week, former Stuff reporter Joel Maxwell pitched in, too, to huff:.....

THREE WATERS – MAHUTA SEEMS CURIOUSLY BEMUSED BY THE NUMBERS OF MAYORS WHO AREN’T BUYING INTO HER REFORM PLAN
When the rising tide of dissatisfaction about a key reform programme has reached a minister’s neck, it seems smart to consider turning off a tap, if not pulling the plug.
But not Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta. She is reported to be defending the Three Waters reform amid mounting criticism of the sort that was described like this in an Otago Daily Times editorial late last week:

Bob Edlin: HEALTH RESEARCHERS STUMBLE OVER TREATY
Health researchers measure the benefits of taking precautions – but they stumble when they bring the Treaty into considerations.
The headline on a recent press statement from Massey University showed what great things emerge from state-funded research, although it seemed to state the obvious: New research highlights the benefit of injury prevention measures in Māori households.
Was research really required to find it’s a good thing to take steps to prevent injuries in Maori households – or any household, come to think of it?
Introducing a few common-sense safeguards – you might think – would be good for the wellbeing of householders, regardless of race, in much the same way as we all would benefit from putting on warm clothing when the temperature drops or from looking for oncoming traffic before crossing the road.......
