Health Coalition Aotearoa (HCA) fully backs Ngātiwai Trust Board’s public appeal to Minister of Health Dr Shane Reti and the Honourable Winston Peters – members of the iwi – to halt the repeal of New Zealand’s life-saving Smokefree law.
The iwi’s public letter appealed to Dr Reti as Minister of Health and a “senior member of the National Party”.
“… we know that you have influence, and we also know that you see the proposed repeal of the Smokefree Act as morally wrong, both as a doctor and as an uri of Ngātiwai.”
