#BHN Chippy on tax | Renewables save NZ $95b | More gun reform behind closed doors

On Q&A Labour leader Chris Hipkins said it's time for New Zealand to have an "honest" conversation about the levels of taxation and Government debt needed to afford the things we want as a country. Former gun lobbyist Nicole McKee has used her power as a Government minister to reduce regulation for gun clubs — without any public consultation. Documents obtained by 1News show officials raised the alarm about a change to the Arms Regulations in May, saying they were being processed under a "short time frame". The average New Zealand household could save nearly $1500 a year by installing rooftop solar and batteries, and switching out gas and fuel for electric appliances and cars, according to a high-powered report by Renewable energy advocate Saul Griffith that finds New Zealand overall can save $95 billion by 2040 if it electrifies its economy and moves away from fossil fuels. Piers Morgan again invites on the wrong person who smashes apart the Pro-Trump framing that Morgan set up with all his guests. Tim Miller from the Bulwark podcast explained to Morgan why his previous guest, Trump sycophant Corey Lewandowski, was wrong and challenged Piers about having no pushback to Lewandowski but this is not new for Morgan.==================================Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of ⁠⁠#BHN⁠⁠ www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews⁠Merch available at www.BHNShop.nz Like us on Facebookwww.facebook.com/BigHairyNews Follow us on Twitter.@patbrittenden @Chewie_NZ
