Executive Director of Greenpeace Aotearoa Dr Russel Norman has said online today that "Trump and Netanyahu’s attacks on Iran are plainly illegal. But the Luxon NZ Govt refuses to call them out. So we presented our Greenpeace petition to Chris Hipkins and Julie Anne Genter today from 1000s of NZers who want the Govt to speak up in favour of international law." Tonight we chat with Dr Norman LIVE at 9.30 about the petition and war in Iran.Marama Davidson and Nicole McKee had a slightly elevated debate this morning about how inequality in schools will impact the new ERO ranking systems where history says the richest schools will also get the best rankings.Chris Hipkins was interviewed this morning about the messaging coming from the government around the fuel crisis and if they had mixed messages/ Hipkins also was asked about the new ERO changes and health system top ups.Christopher Luxon will be happier today after a Talbot Mills poll that still puts them behind Labour but above the 30% mark. We'll take a look over the numbers tonight.++++++++++++++++++++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/
