The Panel with Tim Watkin and Julia Whaipooti (Part 1)

From The Panel, 4:03 pm on 1 May 2019

Is Simon Bridges going to be forced to walk the plank? It's not clear if any possible challengers have the numbers to defeat him, though, especially while the party is holding up above the 40 per cent mark. 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.
