You may wish to publish my thoughts on the present ‘cancer' of NZ. The foreshore gift back to Maori farce at present being romanced by the National party for one.
I have been a National supporter for most of my life, but will never vote for them again.
Why does the minority (Maori) keep being given the right to make claims, have different grants being handed to them, and also seem to be in a position to have moneys available to them to form ‘their own' health services, (as the article NLKMCBS in your last copy shows).
Does the money for these health services providers (nurses), come from their own (Maori claim handout) pockets, or are they funded by the good old working taxpayer, no doubt new cars supplied by us as well to cover their areas. The wedge keeps being driven deeper between our races, and supported by our Government.
The NZ general health system, for one, has lack of funding we are told, because we know moneys are spirited towards treaty pay-outs that we all know about, and as for a special service for Maori health, I think us general taxpayers have had a gutsful.
Things have to change.
