#BHN Racist comments in the house | Trump "offers" redundancy to Feds | Chhour blames OT for cuts

Jones and Peters made racist and xenophobic comments in the house towards Green MPs. Peters and Jones doubled down, but Peters has since apologised, after the PM said publicly, MPs should tone down the rhetoric. Trump has issued a letter to every single Federal employee offering voluntary redundancy. There are concerns that this letter has Elon Musk's fingerprints all over it. Chhour criticises Oranga Tamariki's choice to cut funding for Bernardos, even though she called OT to make major cuts to the sector last year to meet National's budget. ================================= 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 Follow us on Bluesky Pat @patbrittenden.bsky.social Chewie @chewienz.bsky.social Emily @iamprettyawesome.bsky.social Magenta @xkaosmagex.bsky.social
