TAMIHERE SAYS MĀORI ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BYKnown for not mincing his words, Te Pou Matakana CE John Tamihere says Māori are being discriminated against by Primary healthcare professionals and not being cared for as they should. At the Wai 2687 inquiry currently underway at Tūrangawaewae Marae, Tamihere said, “There’s a nice term that the Women’s Movement uses it’s called unconscious bias. It’s just a nice way of saying they’re racist mongrels.” Tamihere says in all discretions whether it's at the GP clinic, the nursing clinic whether it's at the hospital. "If there's a discretion to be made in terms of service deliverables to Māori we end up on the back end of the queue." He says, "99.8% of all money voted from NZ government, which is about $80billion a year goes to Māori, but by and through non-Māori." More claimants are set to give evidence over this week and Tamihere is optimistic that the united voice will eventually result in Māori being able the right to self-determine their own healthcare..... www.maoritelevision.com/news/regional/tamihere-says-maori-are-discriminated-against-phos
