The New Zealand Medical Association wants a crack down on alcohol marketing which is disproportionately targeting tamariki Māori and Pasifika children.
Association chair Kate Baddock says the latest Advertising Standards Authority code for alcohol does not go far enough in protecting New Zealand children and disadvantaged groups from the harmful effects of alcohol marketing.
