ACT will campaign on scrapping Maori and Pacific med school places as review remains hidden

The ACT Party in New Zealand has announced it will campaign on scrapping dedicated medical school admission places for Maori and Pacific students. The policy is driven by the party's assertion that a review of these affirmative action schemes reveals unjustified discrimination.

However, the review cited by ACT as the basis for its policy remains hidden and has not been publicly released. The controversy centers on the existence and findings of this undisclosed report regarding medical school equity pathways.
