#BHN TPB oral subs heard | Govt pitch for digital nomads | Charter school enrolments "overwhelming"

Oral submissions for the Treaty Principles Bill started today with 60hrs of the 80hrs of oral hearings remaining. Under the Governments plan for Economic growth, they've changed the 90 day tourist visa to allow people with foreign work contracts to work while they travel NZ. The new charter schools to open this year are overwhelmed with enrollment numbers. Is this due to a large number of interested parents, or a lack of public schooling available in their area? ================================= 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
