In New Zealand last year, Maori babies under three-months-old were five times more likely than others to be placed into state care. The ‘by Maori, for Maori, with Maori’ separatist “solution” that’s being proposed is sinister. The real cause of the Maori child abuse crisis is family members threatening the safety of their children. One shocking development is that Maori patients are now being prioritised for health treatment in many parts of the country. As a result, critical patients are being forced to wait, while Maori patients with less urgent needs, are given priority.
