#BHN Big Hairy News ·

2023/09/27

#BHN Big Hairy News ·

2023/09/27

Newshub's latest poll continues the trend of National dominance over Labour but there is a new interesting trend of ACT falling where commentators are wondering if they are going to continue to drop over the next couple of weeks. David Seymour also is showing signs of stress and frustration that we first saw last week on The Platform, and this week, post the drop in poll numbers, we're seeing it work its way out in interviews that don't fully bend the knee to him. +++++++++++++++

The definition of bringing a knife to a gun fight couldn't be more apt once you see Chloe eviscerate the talking points from someone who has just started shaving. +++++++++++++++ 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

#BHN Big Hairy News ·

2023/09/26

National has brought out their tried and true playbook to speak to their voters with their favourite "benefit bashing" threatening to cut people off if they don't jump through National's definition of how someone should get employed. Let's take a look at some of the highlights from the Young Voters Debate from TVNZ last night. David Seymour more and more is losing his cool in, what many people would think are, friendly fire interviews. His petulant nature is coming out more

New Zealand's economy is not in recession and hasn't been this year. National has been lying and continue to lie trying to convince NZers that it "feels like a recession" even when it's not. When National used graphics and graphs to demonstrate where we were sitting compared to our trading partners, we think it's only fair that we use their same graph to show where we are now...as our economy grows, +++++++++++++++ Come support the work we're doing by

Winston Peters is attempting to sell white supremacist ideas that allow the incorrect narrative that Māori aren't indigenous to NZ. This is the worst of human nature where Winston Peters is playing a game with people's lives solely to get votes. In saying that, Christopher Luxon won't rule out working with NZ First meaning he's happy to continue to consider someone getting votes from such abhorrent positions as a part of his government post-election. +++++++++++++++
