David Seymour on racial discrimination in the health system 

100% agree

This is a misguided policy aimed to do good. It is so very, very patronising. I dislike “patronising” with a passion. Patronising is done onto you and poisons your soul. On the other hand, “care” is good and it is important to develop entitlements based on need. Need should always be evaluated on the individual never the group otherwise it will constitute discrimination if the reward is not universal.

@@JohanThiart It is designed to divide us. They are either really stupid or it's deliberate and it looks deliberate to me.

Yes... where is the anti apartheid activist John Minto? Very quiet indeed, I guess his communist allies are winning, no need to speak up anymore.

Yes indeed as we have seen from SA Past and Present that nothing Good has come from APARTHEID...hopefully NZ as a diverse Nation understands that such a Systemic Lifestyle is No Good 4 Anybody and Nobody and that RACISM incites only more Hatred and Division among Peoples 🤔🤫

I agree whole heartedly, how dare labour even think about using ethnicity in the health sector, in fact t in any sector. If the part Maori are disadvantaged its their own decisions and choices that are letting them down AND NOTHING ELSE. LABOUR GET A GRIP

NACTs want to create a divided country with the wealthy getting all the services and the working poor get snothing.

And you’ll be called a racist for saying the racism has to stop. Pretty weird world at the moment.

I had a similar situation... arrived in A&E with severe breathing problems at 7pm one winter evening... sat in pain and stressed for breath, high temperature and coughing and struggling until 11.30 at which point I begged by husband to just take me home I was too weak to sit and wait any longer, it was pouring with rain outside... he went to fetch the car to get nearer so I wouldn't get too wet trying to get me into the car. The doctor appeared while he was doing this, helped me into examination room, examined me and became alarmed told me I had pneumonia with both lungs badly congested and put me on oxygen then rang the ambulance for urgent admission to Nth Shore. All the time I waited people with kids skipping and playing, young people playing on cellphones with sniffles filled the waiting room and were taken in a solid stream before I was helped they were all either Maori or Pacifica and I was the only European in the waiting room .. the doctor was so concerned about my condition after seeing me I got good treatment and an apology for my long wait. I was prepared to wait for little children to be seen as with kids you never know and they needed to be checked out, but some of these people were young seemed robust and they happily walked out after being seen while I continued to wait and I am elderly. I had drawn the receptionist attention to my plight but she said I had to wait! Afterwards when the Doctor told her to ring the ambulance urgently she couldn't do enough. I felt I was lucky to survive this experience. Race must never determine who the Doctor sees first.. the degree of urgency must always come first. This is a very dangerous and racist policy!

Disgusting. This is typical to what I've heard

It should be but the whole point was that the data showed that this WASN’T happening. I don’t think this is necessarily the solution though to be clear

@@jame2433 The data showed it wasn’t happening, to all poor people not just Maori.

One word RACIST 😮

What is a maori? Chippy can't define what a woman, is.

@@winstonsmithsoul if that’s the case there’s no need for an ethnicity component. I don’t buy into the govt trying to purposefully stoke division. Trust me they have a hard enough time trying to get minor things done let alone conduct some sort of racial conspiracy

Thank you for sharing that and for your commonsense and compassion. I trust you are healing well and your half brother gets what he needs asap. I agree with you, it is ridiculous.

Sadly some people who live here get turned on at the thought of driving us toward a version of apartheid

oh wake

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this, for such a young country we are actually in a worse position. NZ has been spiralling down hill for decades and both Labour and National haven’t helped. We almost need a new Labour or New National, it’s never going to happen but would love to see everyone boycott National and labour and just vote small parties, simply to send a message neither of them have helped NZ in Recent years. Gangs are close to matching police numbers, crime is getting out of control, all assets were either sold off or privatised, utilities are all privately owned, houses are higher than most western countries, it just keeps getting worse year on year, something more major needs to happen.

The people who cry about not being able to speak maori in school will be crickets on this racist law.

wyt s1mp

What an idiot. David has the potential to be another Adern if he gets any real power. He was all for pushing the mandates and he's the main one behind all the "dont talk to protestors" signee crap that stopped all the parties talking to protestors and turned the entire thing into a clown show. He was even for mandating vaxx of kids at one stage. End of the day anybody voting for any party currently in parliament or winston is a fool. Nothings changed in decades of voting for these shills.

...just another act 🤡🌏honk!

​@@Anony_mouse2 got my vote, ethnic based medicine is insane and racist. Has to stop, getting out of control now

I think there are a lot of NZers just like you.

it's relatively easy to esplain things like that when you're not getting shouted down & interrupted the instant you start to speak

David did speak well but he is still a leftist

he is a great liar

​@@therealdrbytearen't most politicians 😕

Ever since Waitangi griftunal started.

Same in Australia !!!! Labor is a useless, pointless and evil.

So sad what has become of our once great countryunder the disgusting current government

We should be reducing the benefits for government as they cannot do their job they have been paid to do.

Excellently said..

100% because its politically expedient before an election to do so. Otherwise all parties will have to expose the collapse the health system, a problem they will have to fix.

Honestly, a good step is for gps to actually listen to patients when they say they're in pain. Regardless of heritage, a person does know whether they are in pain of not, and it's straight cruelty to dismiss people that express that pain. Sometimes patients get told that it's 'all in their heads'.

@@raydromeda3777 The bad buggars wreck it for the genuine ones. It is lucrative to get prescription pain killers for cooking meth by lying to GP's about pain. I wish you well in your wellness journey on your road to healing.

My father's immobile life was agonisingly on hold when he was on the waiting list for hip and knee surgery for 4 years.....he was nill by mouth for 24 hours, fully prepped on the operating table three times and kicked off each time by some drunk driving pisshead ( guess ethnicity?)( But he was mistreated by colonisation and was too lazy to drag himself out of the gutter and cleanse himself or surrender the colonialist trappings he so despises and blames yet tenaciously clings to. Claims of racial victimhood gave him more advantages and perks) Mr self entittled selfishly crashed his vehicle causing carnage to 2 others all requiring emergency surgery . and a wake of ensuing problems. Now if he had of given his car back and house and alcohol to be free of colonisation he wouldn't have crashed. Was the book thrown at him like a pakeha would of had??? NO He got woke handouts and attention lavished on him and rehab support so he could repeat offend. Not only do we have a woefully underfunded health system, the woke aparthied maori separatist health system is being funded from our already underfunded current health budget . Who elected these numpties?? Then they change all the signage( total waste of money) to keep the poorsighted sick elderly from reaching what they once knew as a hospital just so some woke wannabe's can masturbate their egos and skite of their political racial prowess for marxist destructive communist labour agendas. Labour's campaign slogan ........"Woke Labour Let's Whukitup Ow"

​@@sclark9011totally bloody agree

@@sclark9011 You had me at hello, lol " woke wannabe's can masturbate their ego's " I'm still smiling, I like the way you write, should make a best selling author , keep it up .

What annoys me is that among the first in line will be no-hoping gang parasites, probably including prisoners who contribute absolutely nothing to NZ. Prisoners already get ACC treatment including scans etc within a 2 week timeframe while others have to wait. I telling everyone I’m voting Act or National after being a long term labour voter.

@@sclark9011 my bro eugenics is an abortion of Darwinism that directly led to the Holocaust, Nazii Germany.

Another noted practicioner was Stalin It is not a joking matter

Spot on

Now your thinking, you must be white, good on ya mate . You paid for it .Enjoy . : )

a bit like the story of The King's New Clothes, made of invisible thread.....they all gave him attention and indulged his fantasy out of misplaced politeness saying "Ooooh Ahhhh they look so good on you" Meanwhile he was scrotally naked.....everyone else could see through his charade yet said nothing, thus becoming an accomplice and all co-perpetrators in his delusion.

That's a weird conclusion ! It's not Foons policy , it's a labour policy !

@@kenmckay5578 If it was not labours policy to make health care base of racial status. "Then who's?" This policy is racial this makes it a Human Rights issue. Foon was the Human Right minister. So if Foon was doing his Job as the Human Rights minister then likely the policy would have been removed as clearly yhe policy is racial, therefore making it a breach of the Human Rights Act, We know Foon was not busy declaring conflict of interest.

oh now you understand what's it like when Maori and pacific island people and other people of colour were always left last on the list or not even bothered to be looked at unless they were"White"

I'd never vote for that man!

@@jesswhaanga8643 you can’t back your statement up. Hey go ahead and play the victim card

Over many years the tax payer has paid out multi millions in treaty claims for various tribes... yet these tribes are still in need... while the fat cats on the top drive big cars and squander money, call themselves Elite and appear on the country's rich list.... all treaty payments should have been for betterment of the tribe themselves and given for housing, dental and medical clinics and general well being of the people... for the huge monies they have been given over the years there should be no Maori in need. Maori themselves have to deal with these so called Elite grifters who exploit their people, keep them dumbed down and victims, fill their heads with "beat up" versions of history - while they work the gravy train looking for more loop holes in the ancient document just to fatten their pockets further! Time to tear up the treaty it is now dividing us and we are no longer equal.

They have a separate voting system that's why they get treated better, cause they still a minority with more representation per person. We are only going to get it worst . Time to burn the treaty & bring in a Republic .

Amazing how they can use it to bend the rules.....

obviously low IQ if thats what you think

The Treaty has been distorted and convoluted to provide ongoing benefits for a few and an ongoing guilt trip for the rest.

What's getting done? Besides using a third of my money and spending a lot of it on expensive electric cars for the middle classes? Global warming - yes. Crisis? Nope. (Im old enough to remember careless days (Carlos Dayz) cos of oil crisis. That worked, not. Yet we sheepishly did what we where told. Red pill please...

its the single biggest crock of bullshit on earth and should be done away with

The way Luxon is talking about Co governance Act has both of my votes.

Just go back then ❤

My family have been here 212 years and it is not the country I love and was proud of.. I am sorry you feel like you do and I hope you will stay and help us fight and get back to the way we were.. we can turn things around quickly with the right government and good economic policies that will build up the country again. Our problems started when Ardern took control and now her enabler Hipkins carries on.... she managed to take a first world country with one of the highest living standards in the world and turn it into a 3rd world country depressed and on it's knees... she did this all in 5 years, taking away our free press and eroding many of our democratic rights. Make sure you help us change things.. roll on Oct.

@@marctoleafoa5864 with an attitude like yours... we're better off if you go instead.

Take David with you when you leave

But we'd extremely barred from aaserting that maybe maori cause alot of there own health problems

Keep a very close eye on all of the woke NINOs in National, they say they will make change then backpedal when they get in power. Just look at all of the rubbish that donkey brought in. That is why I don't trust them at all.

I accept National will Win but we need Seymour to have more say. Nats alone will do just as much questionable out of touch things just to keep the tantrum community happy too. While I grew up in aNational Supporter family, I'm voting Act this time.

@Melancholy Collie long as togeather we get over the threshold. So we don't have labour green te party. Yep hard for the Nats to get high polling. Cause many like you have moved to Act. Seymour is excellent

All WEF stooges, Winston is only one talking any sense.

@@beautimberland6771 Act is not likely to get in on their own still at 15% so best thing to do I think is split your vote.. Act for party...Nat for electorate candidate...that way both get into the house... they need each other so we need to back them both.

Winston the only one that truly cares.

Yes that worked well when the old native Maoris became Pakeha which they mostly are now, maybe the really melenated ones could be called Pakoris

OurtearRaw land of the wrong woke crowd

It must be wonderful for them to constantly complain about oppression when they have more Healthcare & Housing rights than most others which if we think about it is power & privilege

That is a media lie, they get turned away because they don't listen to their Doctors & most health problems are from poor choices , fast food too much sugar, alcohol and being in active & just plain lazy . 90% of modern illness is down to poor choices . Maori & Polynesians out smoke the rest because even when you tell someone to stop for their own good the just double down & blame ol whitey for their own lack of self responsibility . The reason many Maori end up in jail is they commit more crime and finally after many soft touch approaches do something that gets enough publicity the state has no choice . The Maori friends I grew up with are all successful in marriage and as a result have a happy a content life & are doing very well because they avoided divorce . All my friends that avoided divorce are very well off, race never made a difference in their success . This direction is going to destroy the fabric of this society .

Hippycritinz won't front uP to the PlaTform! 🤷‍♂️

I can tell you this you will never get a satisfactory answer regarding this ,upfront or not....Mahuta and the Minister of Police should be given their marching orders.

Hipkins: miaow

Mahuta is one of the Maori elite... makes sure all her family are on govt. contracts and like she is pocketing huge money...she is one very tricky lady and another MP who should be investigated...these sort of so called Elite exploit their people big time to line their own pockets.

@@rusty1538 Meng Foon did a pretty bad job as race relations commissioner in my and many other people's opinion. So I found it funny when Seymour said words to the effect of what I mentioned above. I personally thought it was quick-witted and spot-on. Feel free to disagree. Now there are 2 million or so more reasons why it is good he is gone.

David does that...when Ardern left he said she "meant well, but everything she tried had failed badly". Moon should never have been in the job, out of his depth and did a poor job... but no worse than the loopy Susan Devoy!

Brilliant.

Aotearoa .....The Land of the Wrong Woke Crowd

Aotearoa is a Te Reo word... Te Reo was created in 1860 from a number of tribal dialects and the word does not appear in many tribal dialects so for that fact it should never be used as it does not represent all Maori. English and tribal dialects were spoken at the treaty table in 1840 and so English was spoken 20 years before Te Reo was created... so how come Te Reo is the first language? It was created expressly to give Maori a united voice for communication and trade with the settlers arriving in 1860+ and it met with huge opposition from Maori themselves as many Chiefs felt that their own tribal languages would be lost if Te Reo was established. Maori are very selective in what parts of history they choose to remember! For example they like to forget the musket wars of 1820 when they managed to wipe out 1/3 of their own population and commit genocide on the Moriori in 1835... Most chiefs thought the treaty was a blessing in 1840.. it meant the crown would protect them from further utu put an end to slavery (many smaller tribes were almost wiped out and huge numbers enslaved), land grabbing through war and put an end to cannibalism.

@@valeriehughes1008 Aotearoa is a word that's been in common usage for both Māori and Pakeha for many, many years. It is not an official name but that doesn't mean it is somehow an incorrect term to refer to our nation. When we form the republic we can all talk about it and hopefully come to some consensus of an appropriate name. There's no point arguing over the past. All citizens should have the same rights regardless of race, or ethnicity. Māori culture is and will continue to be a massive and beautiful part of the collective culture of the country - whatever you call it.

@@shoutatthesky Agree but Te Reo which is rammed down our throats as the language of the land when it does not represent all Maori and it was created 20 years after the treaty. The treaty was set up to make all New Zealanders equal which it did for a great many years until the Activists learnt how to milk the system and we allowed them to... we could remain as we are with a "no more claims taken" put on the treaty... it was a fine document and set us up as the first democratic country in the world.
