maori protest first day of parliament

[king1]

"Two points...

I have never heard of there being separate hospital wards for Maori - given that hospitals are generally laid out by medical need, it would seem impractical to have specific maori only wards?   

The division you talk of has been caused by historical injustice decades in the making - the only way to truly fix the problem is to address the historical injustice.  Platitudes and burying your head in the sand only delays the process and can never fix the division in such a way that ALL New Zealanders will not feel marginalised."

Well said.   As for CT's remark (joke?) about Maori wards in hospitals, that is an ignorant error first perpetuated by Chantelle Baker, the conspiracy "influencer" who had a brief moment of notoriety during the occupation of Parliament.  She is mainly known for being thick as a plank and twice as ignorant.   It's becoming clear where CT gets his/her ideas from.

I wonder if they're getting it confused with local body election wards? I believe there was discussion about introducing Maori wards into local elections similar to what they do with the general election. Not sure it got off the ground though...
