Laura McClure: ACT MP on the party's criticisms of ACC measures focused on race - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

ACT is criticising ACC measures that aim to reduce disproportionate workplace injuries among Māori and Pasifika.

It's written to the ACC Minister, asking if targets with an ethnic focus match a Cabinet requirement for need-based public service.

Act MP Laura McClure says she hasn't seen evidence to back the targets.

"It's completely lazy - and I actually think it is a bit racist to say one particular group of people needs specific targeted training."

ACC says it's confident its services are based on need, not race.
