#BHN Goldsmith didn't do due diligence | Disability cuts, 6 months on | Double dip by Nats with tolls | Luxon throws toys

Paul Goldsmith acknowledges that the Government failed to assess human rights impact of last minute gang changes. He explains the government’s decision not to get separate analysis from the Attorney-General about whether the extension of the gang patch ban further breaches the Bill of Rights Act and whether his sentencing changes could have unintended consequences that negatively impact on victims including some criminals getting off scot-free. Has the Government been caught with their hands in the gang-number-cookie-jar as it's revealed today that 800 gang members have been taken of the gang registry. When confronted on this Christopher Luxon gets a bit pissy. Kieran McAnulty joins us LIVE to talk about concerned Tararua locals have described proposed highway tolls as a "kick in the guts" during a heated community meeting last night. Tonight we'll take a look at what the government is proposing and see why it is both unfair, and a tad scary about how National is comfortable double dipping to pay for their tax cuts It's been six months since shock cuts to what disabled people and their carers could purchase came into effect and those affected say there hasn't been a day of peace since. Katy Thomas joins us LIVE tonight to explain how the changes are impacting her son's life. ================================== 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
