Heart disease findings

I am tempted to predict a media release from Tariana Turia about the urgent need to address the racism in heart disease care on the back of this study publication;

Deaths caused by heart disease are increasing at "an alarming rate" among young and middle-aged adults, especially Maori, according to a study published in the New Zealand Medical Journal.

Either that or Hone will pick it up and use it to promote his tobacco prohibition campaign.

(On that subject, did the Maori Party promote a tobacco ban policy before the election?)
