On One News this evening they were very clear that other factors (such as how long they’ve been waiting, how sick the person is) are still more important than the patient’s ethnicity.
The key thing is that clinical priority absolutely predominates the score anyone gets.

None of this was mentioned in the NZ Herald piece. Barry Soper, the author, is a political hack who should not be trusted. He gives journalism a bad name and discredits the publication he writes for. I absolutely can’t stand the guy and am disappointed in anyone who uncritically promotes his work.
You don’t need to read much history to find plenty of bad things done by non-commercial entities, e.g. governments. Or churches.
It’s not commerce that is the problem, it is oppression. Use of my code for oppressive purposes is the thing I want to avoid.
