Chloe Swarbrick was on Q&A in the weekend and probably can come out of it with a C+ score. Many before Swarbrick haven't been prepared well enough to face Jack Tame, and he asked several questions that the Greens co-leader needed to defer to another time. Overall Swarbrick covered a lot of ground talking alternative budget, inheritance tax, free dental, nurses pay and more.

Julie Ann Genter joins us live tonight to talk about the governments dark day with changes to the Equal Pay Act killing decades of progress for pay equity for women.Christopher Luxon delivered a pre-budget speech today where he told his audience that capital expenditure, that is new money set aside in the Budget to maintain or upgrade assets, will be higher than originally forecast when the Government delivers its Budget in two weeks' time. Wonder if women can take the credit for adding to the newly found money. In what is becoming an all too common occurrence, Piers Morgan had on his panel a proud racist, white supremacist...and he had no idea until he asked about the third question. Raises the question about who we should and shouldn't platform especially when at the end of the panel, one of the other guests has to explain to Morgan why that white supremacist shouldn't say say the 'N' word on his show.=================================Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of â â #BHNâ â www.patreon.com/BigHairyNewsâ =================================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

Chris Hipkins was on Breakfast this morning talking about Erica Stanford using her gmail account making the case that Parliament Cyber Security have been telling MPs not to use systems outside the security of Parliament, which means if Mr Luxon is so chilled about it either security is wrong, or he doesn't care about Stanford being a security issue.
