Peter Williams: Sorry whitey, we can't help you


For the first this winter we have what’s known as the Community Pharmacy Minor Ailments Service.

Basically this means that if you have something not too serious wrong with you, like a skin infection or a tummy upset, you can go the chemist and they can give you some prescription medicine for it without having to go the doctor.

It’s a good idea, except that it discriminates against non-Māori and non-Pacific aged 14 and over.
