#BHN Winston Peters is a petulant brat

#BHN Big Hairy News ·

2023/12/14

Winston Peters got to be acting Prime Minister for a day and in the house showed his petulant side by refusing to answer a question in te reo. He claimed (with help from Shane Jones) that the translation was too slow, but got caught on hot mic saying he would only answer if the question was asked in English ================================================ Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of ⁠⁠#BHN⁠⁠ www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews⁠ Merch available at www.BHNShop.nz Like

Chloe Swarbrick caused a stir in the house today when there was confusion whether she called the Prime Minister a liar, or called out Nationals' policy to be a lie. Protests today in Wellington against the Smokefree repeal. Ministers ignored it, although once again David Seymour made an argument for legalising all illicit drugs. Helen Clark was on Newstalk ZB today calling for 'the destruction' to stop and for an immediate ceasefire in

2023/12/10

Brooke van Velden seems to have little experience in business or life to be making decisions that impact, in particular, low income, Māori and Pacifica and youth workers in NZ. This raises the question even more as to why she chose to ignore official advice on the Fair Pay Agreement as Newshub's expose continues around the leaked cabinet paper.

2023/12/10

The Māori King has called for a hui for unity in response to this governments attack on all things Māori including cancelling bonuses for Māori speakers in parliament. This government has proven on day one that they do not value Māori in any way or what value they bring to NZ society.

#BHN Sparks fly at the opening of parliament

#BHN Big Hairy News ·

2023/12/10

Luxon and Hipkins battled with handbags from 20 meters as each party leader needed to make their stance on day 1 as to how they were going to operate in the forthcoming term. Really interesting that the National government, who wants to get rid of parliament employee bonuses, started with Māori speakers. They could have started with any other kinds of bonuses, but they chose to make that statement on day 1.

2023/12/09

Misogynist and old is how Debbie Ngarewa-Packer described Shane Jones in this explosive political panel on TVNZ this week. Is she right? And is Shane Jones in for three years being accused of being out of touch and irrelevant to Māori in NZ?

Sir Ian Taylor has long been a Labour voter, this time around he voted for National. He is not regretful of his vote, but he does acknowledge that he has seen some unintended consequences for National having to go into coalition with ACT and NZ First.

2023/12/08

An embarrassing leak from the Christopher Luxon led cabinet after months of Luxon telling NZ he will lead a stable government; he already has members undermining him and his desire to be secure in cabinet conversations. Seems someone on the inside doesn't like that Minister Brooke van Velden didn't take advice on the fair pay agreements from anyone other than Business NZ.

2023/12/07

The National party has been screaming a stat from the rooftops over the last few weeks, and using that stat to justify getting rid of Smokefree 2025, problem is they were wrong, and knew about it 4 days before they stopped using that stat. The claim was that there would only be one store in all of Northland selling cigarettes under the Smokefree 2025 legislation, there were actually 35 planned for the area.

National so wrong on Northland cigarette suppliers under the Smokefree 2025 legislation that they are repealing stating on numerous occasions that there would only be "1 store in Northland" when in truth there would have been 35. Newshub told them last week and they continued to share the lie up until today.

Luxon is the bride, Peters is the bridesmaid and all NZ is talking about is Peters In this introduction Chewie and Pat talk about how Winston Peters is controlling the narrative that ACT and National need to follow to make sure the public think the government is on the same page. If we hold this government to the standard they are setting up now, which is perception of something bad
