#BHN Health System going broke? | National's new maths assessments | No te reo on Matariki invite

Labour is accusing the government of manipulation by using the wrong data on maths education, saying it's like shifting the goalposts after the ball has been kicked. Elected Primary Principals Representative Teaching Council of Aotearoa and Northland Principal Pat Newman joins us to talk about the changes. Three weeks into his new role as commissioner of Health New Zealand, Dr Lester Levy says the finances are worse than he thought. Dr Lester says change needed to happen quickly, or the agency faced going broke in coming months. Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage Paul Goldsmith ordered officials to remove te reo Māori greetings and references to "Aotearoa New Zealand" in an official invitation to the formal Matariki celebration this year. ==================================== 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
