This seems to be the new New Zealand way - there’s a problem, but rather than analyse the causes and implement remedies based on that, go full dipshit and implement a solution that doesn’t address the actual problem and probably won’t fix it.
It’s like the “road to zero” that we’ve copied from other countries. Except in other countries they look at what makes a road dangerous, an apply fixes based on that - installing barriers, straightening corners etc. In NZ that’s too hard, so just blanket lower the speed limit as a catch all fix.
So there is a problem with Maori and Pacific not getting the same access as other groups. It’s obviously too hard for anyone to figure out why that is, so just apply a policy that doesn’t address the root cause and likely won’t fix the problem.

What is the problem and how should it be addressed?
Are you the same ballpeen hammer as on r/newzealand? Because that guy is a munter as well.
