Mike Hosking: WHAT'S THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL'S COVID INQUIRY GOING TO ACHIEVE?
The Waitangi Tribunal is meeting this week to hear a long line of complaints from Māori health providers over their inability to do their job when it's come to getting Māori vaccinated.
The hearing has been called for under urgency. What it achieves I have no idea, given the tribunal don’t make law or can't enforce decisions. Part of the irony of the submitters, is that one of their complaints is that the Ministry of Health who have been taken to court and lost, don’t seem to listen to courts. So I'm not sure they will listen to the tribunal.
The bits we all agree on are a lot of money has been handed out to vaccinate Māori and that the Māori health agencies have broadly argued it’s a Māori problem that needs a Māori solution.
That, also broadly speaking, has failed.
So, is what we have here a genuine grievance in the breakdown of a system that should have been better run? Or a bunch of whingers, having complained in the first place about race and prejudice, are now butt covering because they simply haven't delivered despite the fact, they have been given what seems like extraordinary resources.......
