#BHN Labour is finally jumping on the #BHN bandwagon...

#BHN Big Hairy News ·

2023/10/08

To be fair, we've been saying that Luxon is not very good at politics during this election cycle, however, Labour has dropped the ball majorly by not pushing messages that should have been shouted from the rooftops since day one. The latest example of this is the 99.85% of households that are not eligible for the cornerstone, flagship tax cut policy that National wants to introduce. The CTU has come out with the figures, BHN has expanded on those figures and explained them in more details and

2023/10/08

The CTU has released numbers that only 0.15% of houses are eligible for National's cornerstone election policy. We're pretty appalled that the left hasn't challenged this as clearly in the last month, why is this message being left to the CTU and people like us to point this out to the public. +++++++++++++++ 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

Christopher Luxon being challenged on if National will do a deal with Raf Manji and TOP. Who spoke with whom and who asked about the possibility first as there seems to be mixed messages. It also seems that TOP has moved from working with no one, to working with anyone, to working only with National even though they say they're top priority is to get into parliament which Labour could also offer them. +++++++++++++++ Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of

If NZ First get around 6% of the vote they will bring with them an MP who believes that those who made COVID vaccine available to populations should be tried (and possibly executed) as war criminals as happened in Nurenberg after WW2 This is a problem for ACT and NZ First as they are attracting the tin-foil-hat brigade, so of course some of those people are going to start to show up in their elected ranks.

In saying that, people who say they want neutrality, more often than not, are actually looking for news that confirms their own bias. +++++++++++++++ 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 Facebook www.facebook.com/BigHairyNews Follow us

Christopher Luxon was on The AM Show this morning talking about a deal with TOP for Ilam and if they would offer it. Some interesting differences in how the communication has been described by TOP last night and Luxon this morning. We'll check it out. Tonight's TVNZ poll has some wins and losses for either side of the political spectrum National tax cuts will be inflationary according to one of the world's biggest banks.

Winston Peters gave one of the most disgusting, disingenuous, even dangerous interviews with Jack Tame this weekend where he spent longer not knowing, or refusing to answer, the questions that were asked of him. He threatened TVNZ implying he would sort them out as, because of this interview, he would now look to become the Minister of Broadcasting. The race bating, authotarian language and aggressive attitude towards the media has firmly given him the title of "NZ's Trump" Another

Tax cuts are the central policy of the right, but the main question is, when all political parties are giving out lollies to incentivize voting, are tax cuts wanted enough to get peoples vote either for, or against, a party?

Nicola Willis and Christopher Luxon have been dancing around the numbers behind their tax cut policy, refusing to show their workings and when nearly all economists suggest the numbers don't add it, it's hardly surprising to see that NZers don't trust their numbers. Even one third of National voters don't believe the hype that Luxon is putting out about the ability to service the $16b in tax cuts they are promising. +++++++++++++++ Come support the work we're doing

#BHN David Seymour getting pissy with friendly media

2023/09/28

David Seymour is getting more and more pissy and petulant when going on what should be friendly media to him. His big problem is he has been courting conspiracy-theory and anti-Jacinda voters that listen to these same media outlets, but when the same voters then call in their chips and want Seymour to be 100% on board with ALL of their beliefs, he won't. This is impacting ACT in the polls as a sector of their current supporters realise he is not the knight in a shining tin foil hat they wanted
