For example, "Ended race-based waitlists" (for healthcare).

Which race was favoured? Did labour justify the racial-basis as addressing pre-existing inequality?

  • Maori and possible Pacific Island. I'm not sure how it was justified but I imagine probably because of worse health outcomes for those groups.

    Trying to correct an inequality with another inequality is still discrimination. People who want that should be honest and identify themselves as racists, not the ones who want to stop racism.
