#BHN Big Hairy News ·

2023/12/19

Christopher Luxon has been proven a hypocrite again as he's telling public servants who want to learn te-reo that they should pay for it themselves, while he is having his lessons free, paid for by the taxpayer. National is trying to pivot saying they were only talking about bonuses but it's just another example of Luxon saying one thing, and doing the other. Whether it's "helping rich people buy Teslas" or this current debacle, it seems this government has already started a

Why can't a politician call another politician a liar in the house...if they are lying? It's a stupid rule that goes back to when 'gentlemenly' rules applied in the house. Chloe Swarbrick heard the Prime Minister make a statement that was untrue, and testable, but was cautioned for calling him a liar. ================================================ Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of ⁠⁠#BHN⁠⁠ www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews⁠ Merch available at

The National government is repealing the Smokefree2025/Smokefree Generation legislation and now NZers are pushing back with a 50,000-person petition and protests around the country. There is also polling backing up that two out of 3 Kiwis don't want the legislation overturned including 80% of National voters. ================================================ Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of ⁠⁠#BHN⁠⁠ www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews⁠ Merch available at www.BHNShop.nz

National has cancelled the plan for new ferries for the Cook Strait even though the current ferries are right at the end of their lives. Biggest problem is they have made the decision to stop new ferries coming, but haven't put in a new plan for what to do when the current ferries reach the end of their lives. ================================================ Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of ⁠⁠#BHN⁠⁠ www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews⁠ Merch available at www.BHNShop.nz

No matter how you square the circle, National is robbing the poor, to pay the rich in the form of tax cuts. Even if there is not a straight line, every cent that National adds onto the backs of the poor, sick and vulnerable is a cent they can give landlords and give back in tax cuts. National has been using the "the people want us to do this" excuse for what they've been doing this cycle, but now that "the people" want to keep prescriptions free...all of a sudden National
