Its election year, so National and ACT are, as usual, whipping up racism over Māori supposedly being "advantaged" by the health system (so "advantaged" they die 2700 days earlier than pakeha). And as usual, they're using Parliament as a bully pulpit for doing it. As usual, Māori MPs have objected to this. And as usual, they've been thrown out. Because while Parliament is supposedly "a place for debate", that "debate" is absolutely not allowed to include accurately saying what these racist parties are doing, or calling them out on their racism.
And then politicians wonder why Parliament is seen as a racist, white supremacist institution. This is why. If it doesn't want to be seen that way, then maybe it should stop letting itself be used as a Stormfront by racist parties.
