yeah, nothing to see there unless you're a racist bigot.  Nothing ever seems to have any kernel of truth with you does it? always, twisted, embellished logic...

you should probably go and read the document.  Read it carefully and slowly.  Then read it again and then you may understand, that it is not anti new zealander, just pro equity for all citizens.  If you can't get that then there is no helping you...

Again easy to throw out the racist thing.   But how can you be racist if you are against a system being set up that actually establishes a health (or any other system) based on skin colour or ancestry?   Once again that is the very definition  of racist.

As for pro equity for all - how can you say that with a straight face?

It is racist because you are making it about the skin colour or ancestry.

This is really no different than if we set up a health system focussed on for example cancer patients, or any other significant group...  Cancer patients are simply a metric that is measurable and disadvantaged in health outcomes.  Maori and Polynesian peoples are also a metric that is measurable and (from what I read) disadvantaged in health outcomes. 

They want a voice, as do cancer patients... Because they are a significantly larger group than cancer patients, and presumably because we have a treaty and UN commitments, they get a say so in how the health system should be setup...
