National and ACT are being forced to defend Winston Peter's attack on the media, giving him rope that they would never give their own MPs or Ministers. Their "this is Winston being Winston" defense is something they would never let pass if it was a Labour government. ================================================ Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of ⁠⁠#BHN⁠⁠ www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews⁠ Merch available at www.BHNShop.nz Like us on

The 100 Day plan is void of new ideas and policy from National, it's full of undoing what Labour put in place, or was slated to start...and going backwards to old failed National policy of yesteryear. The 100-day plan announcement, shallow that it was, was still overshadowed by Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters as the media explain to NZ what the PIJF was, and who benefitted from it. ================================================ Come support the work we're doing by becoming a

National has blatantly stated that continued tax on cigarettes is going to partly pay for tax cuts that they are now bound to because of their unrealistic promises before the election. Now we see straight out cowardice from Nicola Willis who refuses to answer the question, "if more people smoke, will more people die from smoking?" Just own it, you open that door to more smokers, you own more deaths. Be honest and own the consequences of your policies

The new government has been sworn in. They have come under some criticism already for being a government to save money on the public sector, while having a bigger caucus than ever before. It was also telling that a government that seems to want to hinder the use of te reo Maori, there was heaps of it in their ceremony with no complaints...other than Winston, who complains about everything ================================================ Help us by nominating #BHN for the people's choice award

Christopher Luxon said pre-election that the "National party is at it's best when it's truly a national National Party representing all the diverse communities of New Zealand." The elected National Party is 80% Pakeha, 70% male with 0% Pacificia representation. The ladies and gentlemen, I give you Cameron Brewer Is it any wonder they get labelled racist and misogynist?

Again, we have an example of a politician on the right saying they want a solution, then refuses to state that solution. David Seymour says a two state solution is what is needed, but then refuses to acknowledge Palestine as a sovereign country...which is what you need for a two state solution.

Gerry Brownlee sends such mixed messages where he says National wants a ceasefire, but still refuses to call for one. The most concerning part of the fence sitting by National is when Brownlee says National only thinks there can be a ceasefire when "both parties" fulfill certain conditions. When he is asked what those "conditions" are, rather than explaining where "both parties" need to come to the table, his response is only what Hamas has to do, nothing about the
