The Kiwi government has instituted a trendy new social engineering project for Equity™ that consists of denying healthcare to whites because of White Supremacy™ or whatever.
Via the New Zealand Herald:
Auckland surgeons are now required to consider a patient’s ethnicity alongside other factors when deciding who should get an operation first.
Several surgeons say they are upset by the policy, which was introduced in Auckland in February and gave priority to Māori and Pacific Island patients – on the grounds that they have historically had unequal access to healthcare.
Health officials stress that ethnicity is just one of five factors considered in deciding when a person gets surgery, and that it is an important step in addressing poor health outcomes within Māori and Pacific populations.
Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand has introduced an Equity Adjustor Score, which aims to reduce inequity in the system by using an algorithm to prioritise patients according to clinical priority, time spent on the waitlist, geographic location (isolated areas), ethnicity, and deprivation level.
In the ethnicity category, Māori and Pasifika are top of the list, while European New Zealanders and other ethnicities, like Indian and Chinese, are lower-ranked.
The compelling, common-sense argument against this kind of nonsense — which equally applies to the debate over “affirmative action” in the U.S. context and countless other social engineering projects – is that rationing medical care based on race is the quickest, surefire way to breed and exacerbate racial tensions between, in this case, white New Zealanders and Maoris, not to fix them.

Someone once posted that the goal of the left is to eliminate Whitey after taking all his money first.
The wisdom of that statement is being proven over and over again.
Big Med worldwide has shown it’s willing for the shilling.
They’ll dummy up and do what they’re told.

My advice: if you’re in extremis and are lily white, self-identify as whatever you need to do to get decent care.
so whites get a tax brake ,LOL
Still more...
And minorities get first shot at being done in by their docs.
Talk about killing with kindness.
For anyone else curious and from a couple of years ago...

That’s just on the adverse drug events.
Labour may only have until October. The polls are very close between Labour + Greens + Maori (supposing Maori again wins a constituency) and National (conservative) + ACT (libertarian). A wild card might be NZ First (populist-centrist).
That’s exactly what it’s about. Your poster is smart.
Those idiots that moved to New Zealand will get no healthcare ? LOL
But perhaps beautiful scenery as they die.
The real reason for this new policy is exposed in this excerpt from the linked article,
“Pasifika people have the highest rates of obesity in the country followed by Māori, according to Dr Tukuitonga, but have the lowest rates of bariatric surgery – procedures that make changes to the digestive system in order to help people lose weight.
“There’s really no good reason why this is, because one would expect the surgical intervention rates would be higher for Māori and Pasifika people,” he said.”
I smell a desire for $$$$ as the chief motive. Not a yearning for justice.
And it’s usually white liberals who are the ones to go after other whites who are conservative.
