#BHN Gary Payinda on his Labour Party selection | Mitchell on Q&A | More polluting cars on the way

Dr Gary Payinda joins is LIVE at 9pm to talk about his Labour Party selection, the first in the country outside sitting MPs, as to why he wants to move into politics and wanted to do something about what he saw as the government's ongoing attack on essential public services.https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/579103/labour-selects-dr-gary-payinda-to-take-on-former-health-minister-dr-shane-reti Police Minister Mark Mitchell was given a lot of grace last week as to his handling, and responsibility, to the Coster/McSkimming coverup. His performance on Q&A started to erode that grace for many as he refused to even acknowledge that what happened in his office was wrong and responsibility by someone needs to be taken for the processes set up in Mitchell's office. More polluting cars on the way as changes standards about how much CO2 a car can omit with Minister Chris Bishop saying at a press conference today that "the demand for EVs is not there" while taking no responsibility for the drop in demand from cancelling the Clean Car Discount.=================================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 Facebookwww.facebook.com/BigHairyNews Follow us on Twitter.@patbrittenden @Chewie_NZFollow us on BlueskyPat @patbrittenden.bsky.socialChewie @chewienz.bsky.socialEmily @iamprettyawesome.bsky.socialMagenta @xkaosmagex.bsky.social
