Is this a rage bait article? That's pretty maddening.
In some ways I get it. Yes Maori and pacifica have and are treated worse than Nz Europeans and have had horrible treatment in the past.
However forcing them to the top of the list to rectify this will just cause more health issues for those that need it as priority.
Lots of surgeries won't go ahead of you can't remove extra weight. Especially bariatric surgery. You need to show you can lose he weight first. I'm not sure forcing a patient who cannot manage that to get the surgery will solve anything.
Interesting
I mean yeah - it’s likely rage bait. The parking bit in the video said “some main roads” “certain hours”. The presenter couldn’t decide if it was pounds or dollars. The pre-roll ad was for “live shopping”. NZ Herald is pretty garbage tier and this just panders to their expected audience.
True
Total rage bait. Barry Soper is trash.
Agree
