#BHN Paul Barlow on cancellation of BSA | Hosking glazes PM | Shane Jones on the Homeless
from #BHN Big Hairy News · host Big Hairy Network
The announcement on the cancellation of the BSA has been picked over for the last 24 hours so we thoughts we'd bring a friend of the show, who also happens to be a media academic, on tonight to chat over the cancellation of the BSA, why and where to from hereMike Hosking glazed PM Christopher Luxon this morning where they both agreed that the only reason the PM had poor polling on managing the economy was because people just "wanted free money". There is also a gross little policy coming out of ACT at the moment where migrants will need to take a "citizen test". The idea is not gross because people will learn a bit more about NZ, it's gross because when Brooke van Velden says the test will be on " what it means to be a New Zealander" which of course may be very different to an ACT party, compared to say a human...or the Green Party.Kieran McAnulty and theBISH were on Breakfast this morning talking about Shane Jones speaking the quiet part out loud about what the government thinks of homeless people and that "clearing our roads and streets of vagrants is somehow worsening those people". ++++++++++++++++++++Like us on Facebook.com/BigHairyNetwork Follow us on Twitter.com/@bighairynetworkFollowing us on TikTok.com/@bighairynetworkSupport us on Patreon www.patreon.com/c/BigHairyNewsCheck out our merch https://bhn.nz/shop/Donate to our work https://bhn.nz/shop/donation/
