Dear Editor, (Sent to the NZ Herald 24/10/18)
Some people were shocked that the National Party has racial preferences in their MP line-up. Their reaction shows how out-of-touch they are.
All of our political parties have race policies.
All of our legislation now includes racial bias.
Every public organisation is seeking ‘diversity’ and giving Maori levels of privilege – check out our councils and hospitals.
Every private organisation is obliged to show how they are doing the same if they want to win business from the public sector.
What – we fought against apartheid? That was so yesterday!

If Tom O’Connor (Waikato Times 20/10/18) thinks some Maori (he hasn’t defined which ones) own water because their ancestors might have offer some to early visitors to these shores, then he should think a little more deeply. Tribes also offered food and women. So do “select Maori” own all food and women in this country too?
As that pre-eminent historian Michael Bassett has said, “What the Treaty doesn’t say, they (Maori elite) make up, and the liberal intelligentsia are “yes, yes, rah, rah”. (tinyurl.com/ycemr2nn)
In the 21st century, we are supposed to live in a democratic country in which the government rules for the benefit of all the people – with no discrimination for race, gender or religion.
The government should judiciously allocate water rights subject to need and demand, with any returns benefiting all New Zealanders, not a select, self-appointed, greedy few.

You report alleging racial basis against prem babies in our hospitals doesn’t seem likely. Having spent much time of late visiting unwell relatives, I was amazed at the multicultural variety of our medical teams. Despite our hectic and overloaded infrastructure, these skilled and competent people performed amazingly well under very trying conditions. There was no evidence of racism to be seen. Perhaps instead the answer lies in those wanting any excuse to indoctrinate health staff with a particular political bias?
