ACT, How to destroy equity

[Lilith7]

But CT, surely before we can all be treated fairly and equal - your words, they have to be equal. And lots of simply are not.

Woman are not equal with men, people of different ethnicities are not equal, age groups are not equal, people of different faiths are not equal, people of different incomes are not equal, people of different social statuses are not equal. And people with different levels of education are not equal. Even people who just live in different parts of the country are not equal.

Life is not a one size fits all business, and so long as difference exists, 'fairly and equal' is just noise out of some politicians mouth.

Thats my whole point, take the race card out of it and treat people by need, thats what ACT want to do. If you cant afford a doctors visit, regardless of your race, you get assistance. Pretty simple really.

Yes, NEED is precisely WHY Maori were given extra help; because their need was in some areas greater due to inequality. 

Had this idiot govt not interfered we would eventually have had equity as a result.
