Service providers say Māori sidelined from Covid response

From Midday Report, 12:43 pm on 13 October 2021

A Northland service provider says Māori have been sidelined in the covid response, and is being described as a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Te Hau Ora o Ngāpuhi argues the vaccine rollout has created barriers instead of getting rid of them for Māori, which violates the right to equitable treatment.

Its chief operating officer Tia Ashby talks to Māni Dunlop.
