This is so racist it doesn't make sense to people who aren't racist. Like, seeing a dude with a facial moko smiling at you should not make you freak out (also I DREAM of Chippy being in TPM's pocket, he'd have better policies) #nzpol

My position on why the EU- NZ trade agreement complaint’s so serious- we can’t have it both ways - we can’t claim to be honest brokers on a world stage while at home we’re not keeping to the fair climate/sustainability rules we expect our trade partners to also stick to www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

One other thing: almost every other candidate asked the question-asker to email them with info or sign up to their mailing list for announcements... As a disabled person myself, asking us to do more work to be seen and heard becuase you don't have an answer is so bleak. It was not well recieved.

"You may have seen recent media coverage indicating that the ACT Party intends to campaign on ending targeted Māori and Pacific admission pathways into medical programmes..." Email everyone in a health professional programme at Otago got this morning.
You may have seen recent media coverage indicating that the ACT Party intends to campaign on ending targeted Māori and Pacific admission pathways into medical programmes at the University of Otago and the University of Auckland.

 

We recognise that this coverage may be unsettling and hurtful for members of our University community—particularly our Māori and Pacific students, staff, applicants, whānau and communities.

The University is seeking the release of the Ministry of Health report referred to in the media so that its findings, and the evidence informing them, can be considered openly and carefully.It is important to be clear that all applicants to the University of Otago’s MB ChB programme must meet the same academic threshold to be eligible for admission, irrespective of the admission category or pathway through which they apply. Targeted admission pathways do not lower or waive this threshold.

Once admitted, every medical student completes the same programme, is assessed against the same academic, clinical and professional standards, and must demonstrate the same graduate outcomes.

The evidence supporting targeted admission pathways is well established. These pathways help address the longstanding under-representation of Māori and Pacific peoples within the medical workforce and contribute to a health workforce that better reflects and responds to the communities it serves. This is essential to delivering equitable, culturally safe and responsive healthcare and improving health outcomes across Aotearoa New Zealand.

Claims that targeted admission pathways lower standards or compromise the quality of medical graduates are not supported by the evidence. Our analysis of student progression and graduate outcomes provides no evidence of declining graduate quality. All graduates must meet the standards required by the University and the relevant professional and accreditation bodies.
