No Minister
We are one country. We deliver our public services to people on the basis of need, not ethnicity.
So said our future prime minister on May 5, 2022, during a visit to Greymouth.
So, why do we still see government job vacancies like this?

Te Mauri o Rongo – The New Zealand Health Charter
The foundation for how we ensure our people are empowered, safe and supported while working to deliver a successful healthcare system, is Te Mauri o Rongo – the New Zealand Health Charter.
Te Mauri o Rongo consists of four pou (pillars) within it, including:
Wairuatanga – working with heart, the strong sense of purpose and commitment to service
Rangatiratanga – as organisations we support our people to lead. We will know our people; we will grow those around us and be accountable with them in contributing to Pai Ora for all.
Whanaungatanga – we are a team, and together a team of teams. Regardless of our role, we work together for a common purpose. We look out for each other and keep each other safe.
Te Korowai Āhuru – a cloak which seeks to provide safety and comfort to the workforce.
These values underpin how we relate to each other as we serve our whānau and communities.
