In a longform conversation, leader of the opposition, Chris Hipkins spoke with NZ Herald about the cost of living, taxing the rich, CGT and and how he thinks this Government is an example of the smaller parties having all the power which he thinks is not a good representation of MMPThe Luxon led Government are seemingly happy to break Bill of Rights as they propose a change to voting laws that, if they were in place at the last election, would have disenfranchised 150,000 votersThe change to the passport working is again another distraction, dog whistle to the racist base of CoC voters as this government seems to want to continue to attack, to minimise and to devalue te reo and Māori in general. We'll remind people again tonight how, when the indigenous language is not brown, colonised countries pass legislation to support it and make it their first language even when fewer people speak it than speak English.We have to take some time out tonight to talk about Donald Trump. He, and his surrogates, are quite truly the people on the face of the planet which we'll show you and, even though the kids on Friday touched on it, we cannot let a show pass without looking at the infamous South Park premiere episode to their 27th season.=================================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
