from #BHN Big Hairy News · host Big Hairy Network

Christopher Luxon was on Newstalk ZB today for an hour explaining how much he enjoyed the format of discussing issues "a bit deeper" all while not going in-depth at all in any way just continuing on the same old talking points.We asked questions last night about how we'd be charged road user charges "like a power bill" without mass surveillance. Seems the answer is the way the government wants to do it...is by using mass surveillance.The 'nobody is surprised' award goes to Jordan Williams and his The Campaign Company who Don Brash confirmed this morning was the group being using Rotorua kuia, Ellen Tamati's, face on a Hobson's Pledge billboard against Māori Wards. The Israeli government has told so many lies since Oct. 7. In under three minutes, Mehdi Hasan debunks the top 10 Israeli lies about the genocide in Gaza.Primary School teachers reject a 1% pay increase offer, meaning they would be going backwards in real terms, about 2% based on current inflation=================================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
