Mental Health inquiry accused of "methodological racism"
A co-author of a report on the mental health inquiry says it was re-written, renamed and cut in half, in what she calls "methodological racism." Dr Lynne Russell is a top Maori researcher and she says Maori got just three mentions among the 40 recommendations in the Mental Health and Addictions Inquiry report. Anton Blank is an advocate for Maori child health. He talks about unconscious bias in offical reports.
