#BHN Welcome to the fight Comrade Brown | Meth explosion in NZ | NZ's new Reserve Bank Governor

Welcome to the fight Comrade Wayne Brown over the cuts and populist legislation that this government is participating in. This time it's over the maximum increase to rates of 2%-4% leaving Auckland not able to fund it's needs. It also means that cities will become more user pays and the Councils will look to make up the losses in other areasUnder Labour the National Party and Christopher Luxon made it incredibly clear that Labour was responsible for the increase in ram raids. We continue to find out that meth us has exploded in NZ "like no where else in the world" so whom shall we hold responsible for that?NZ's new Reserve Bank Governor was in the Finances Expenditure Committee today and had a warm welcome, the same cannot be said for Nicola Willis who played Queen Karen when challenged by several members including Chloe SwarbrickWe have a big update for you as well on Te Rārangi Rangatira with a very influential school just having signed up=================================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 Facebookwww.facebook.com/BigHairyNews Follow us on Twitter.@patbrittenden @Chewie_NZFollow us on BlueskyPat @patbrittenden.bsky.socialChewie @chewienz.bsky.socialEmily @iamprettyawesome.bsky.socialMagenta @xkaosmagex.bsky.social
