#BHN Chloe Swarbrick LIVE at 9pm | Craig Renney LIVE at 9.45pm | HYEFU a nightmare

LIVE at 9pm 'fan fave' Chloe Swarbrick joins us to talk the year in politics which on many levels was a tough one for the Greens, what's to come in 2025 and maybe specifically what happened today when Nicola Willis opened the books at HYEFU Once we have chatted with Chloe, CTU economist Craig Renney joins us to talk specifically HYEFU and what the books show, along with what it means for NZ moving forward The government's books are set to remain deeply in the red for the near term as a big dent in the tax take and higher expenses deliver continued budget deficits. Under the new measure the deficits for the next three years would rise less than forecast in the May budget and see a surplus posted in 2027/28. Using the established measure the deficits would rise more than expected in the budget and a surplus was not expected in the forecast period to 2028/29. ================================= 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 on Twitter. @patbrittenden @Chewie_NZ Follow us on Bluesky Pat @patbrittenden.bsky.social Chewie @chewienz.bsky.social Emily @iamprettyawesome.bsky.social Magenta @xkaosmagex.bsky.social
