March 14, 2024 #BHN First Union on workers rights | Australia poaching ECE teachers | National's use of 'urgency'
LIVE at 9pm Anita Rosentreter from First Union chats with us about workers rights in the face of a government wanting to overhaul workplace and public holidays legislations
Australia is poaching NZ ECE teachers and this Government has no plan to stop them. David Seymour was on breakfast television and seemed to say that immigration smoothed all the lost teacher out as number of ECE teachers was up 3% last year
Massive rates rise on the way for the majority of home owners, why is this and how to combat it
National's use of 'urgency' is being labelled as undemocratic by Labour with some parallels being drawn to Donald Trump and Russa.

March 13, 2024 #BHN NACTNZ Fights for business rights | National breaches international obligation | Police unhappy
Brooke van Velden is charged with overhauling the Health and Safety Act, and reforming the Holidays Act in a move that unions are calling "horrifying". Brooke is also saying the quiet part out loud as she makes it clear this is all about doing what's best for the businesses...not the workers.
National may be in breach of international obligations by cancelling proper advice on policy by removing regulatory impact statements as part of legislative process
Police Association President, Chris Cahill told Breakfast Police Officers are struggling to afford to live with reports of officers having to move home, while the Government would rather give landlords a tax break.

Assoc Professor Dr Peter Thompson from Better Public Media joins us to talk about the important of Public Broadcasting in a democracy

March 11, 2024 #BHN Chloe Swarbrick LIVE at 9pm | Bishop on Q&A | Interest deductibility restored for landlords
Chloe Swarbrick became Green Party co-leader and joins us LIVE at 9pm to talk about the co-leadership position and the future of the left in NZ
Chris Bishop was on Q&A in the weekend where he told Jack Tame that tenants of emergency housing may not be allowed to continue on with that housing if they don't respect the space, and they'd have to go and live with friends and family...but if they had space with friends and family they wouldn't have gotten emergency housing in the first place.
The NACTNZ government has reinstated interest deductibility for landlords and are now going around telling fairy tales that the landlords will pass the benefit of that onto tenants.
Some other topics from the weekend we may also touch on
Jacinda Ardern documentary
Barbara Edmonds on Q&A
Melissa Lee's plan to help NZ's struggling media industry (we may carry this one over to Tuesday)

March 10, 2024 #BHN Seymour won't accept research on school lunches if it's not empirical data with decimal points
There is plenty of research around the benefits of school lunches, it's just that David Seymour won't accept any of it because he wants data that is empirical with decimal points and KPIs and the benefit from school lunches are more relative and the people who see the results, the teachers and school staff, say they see the benefits...it's just no one can convince Seymour.

March 09, 2024 #BHN Karen Chhour explains how great the boot camps will be
Karen Chhour extols the virtues of bootcamps except all the experts and front office workers are telling National this won't work...other than if they were to spend an ungodly amount of money on wrap around services once bootcamp was finished...which we know they won't do.

March 09, 2024 #BHN We were promised downward pressure on rents by this government
Whilst it's probably too early to hold this Government accountable for the rents still increasing, what we continue to see is upward pressure and no answers from NACTNZ as to how they will get downward pressure on rents.
We also look at why many on the right, who are well off, cannot seem to have empathy and look outside themselves to others worse off.

March 08, 2024 #BHN National's emergency housing changes will cause more NZers to be on the street
The language that National is using around new policy for emergency housing seems clear that their changes are going to lead to more people on the streets and, again, National wants to hamstring the front office and slim down the number of people who are "vulnerable" to save money to pay for tax cuts.

March 08, 2024 #BHN Nicola Willis on National's slew of new costs to drive on our roads
Nicola Willis is becoming the most disingenuous politician ever when it comes to television interviews.
She tries to explain how National is not adding taxes to fuel, whilst ignoring all the other costs that National lumped onto drivers yesterday.
