1480381	2021-09-09 01:30:00	He makes some good points. But at least admit he's really just maori bashing. Thats how Act & Nat get votes & media coverage, Maori bashing. it makes the headlines every time If the Old or Sick were given special access codes , everyone would say thats a good idea So priority for old or sick : good idea Priorety for Maori : somehow a bad idea despite they are generally believed to be high risk (of both infection & death) I will add, there should be special priority codes for Pacific islanders , possibly being the highest risk . It is racism that Maori got access codes but Pacific Islanders didnt (I assume). Anyone over 60 (incl 60+ Maori) should have been vaxed by know, so why the need for special access codes ?	1101 (13337)

Agreed about the Maori bashing- there are far better ways he could have gone about it to make his point, but he went for the one that would stir the most ****. The aim of the codes, as far as I understand them, was to try and help boost rates for the most vulnerable by many different metrics. Some people may feel that it's wrong to do it by race but any effort to boost those numbers is a good thing in my book. Whinge when it's over, not in the middle of it and by sabotaging the program itself.	baabits (15242)

1480385	2021-09-09 04:38:00	" Whatever the problem with Maori getting vaccinated, it's unlikely they were just waiting to be emailed a priority access code" Yes I agree actually. I spoke to one neighbour a few days ago, mentioned we'd had ours and she said oh, the experiment! I didn't bother trying to educate her, as she does have a mental illness. But could well be the susceptibility to rubbish on the net? The ones next to us though, have had theirs.......	piroska (17583)

1480388	2021-09-11 10:17:00	I agree with you prefect. I think David Seymour , being in a minority party feels he needs to be in the media all the time. Many in the media are basically lazy and will report on anyone who is willing to "mouth off" as is evidenced by their historical behaviour in using the same group of people as "spokespeople". If iam deemed wrong then why do the same old names keep recurring?	Neil F (14248)
