#BHN Tory Whanau fighting Abuse in Politics | Te Tiriti threatened again | Socialism, not communism

from #BHN Big Hairy News · host Big Hairy Network

We speak with Tory Whanau about the Mana Wāhine inquiry in which the Waitangi Tribunal is hearing more than 200 claims the Crown has failed in it's obligation to protect wāhine Māori in public and leadership roles from abuse, misogyny, and racism.The govt will amend references to the Treaty of Waitangi in 19 pieces of legislation to ensure the principles are 'clear and consistent', which a coalition agreement made by NZ-First. Is this just NZF's Treaty Principles Bill?In a Fox and Friends segment, the hosts conflate the rise of socialist policies with the 'Red Wave' communism scare of the cold war era. The parallel of how the Left condemn the rise of fascism, and the Right fearmonger about socialism is jarring.++++++++++++++++++++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/
