We'll have an open and honest conversation with you tonight about where BHN is at and what are the possibilities for 2024 and how you can be involved More coalition negotiations happened today but Winston called in missing making it clear that he wants to send the message to Luxon that he can make or break a government anytime he wants Analyst Geoffrey Miller has spoken out today saying that international pressure is becoming to strong for Israel to continue as it currently is.

Christopher Luxon was on breakfast television talking about coalition talks and where his tax cut pledges are at today, as compared to when he made them in the run up to the election CTU policy analyst and economist Craig Renney joins us to talk about where coalition talks are at and where National is at today, based on their policy promises prior to the election Suella Braverman might have something to teach NZers about opening up the door for racists and xenophobes to walk through. Bomber warned last week that the door that David Seymour opens with his treaty referendum will possibly put a number of other conversations on the table that are currently in some pretty ugly corners of the internet. We'll take a look at some of the protests over the weekend surrounding Israel and Gaza. ================================================ Help us by nominating #BHN for the people's choice award at https://www.nzpodcastawards.com/nominate.

Sean "Karen' Plunket's 'standard' for evidence to support his narrative is next to 'none needed' whereas his 'standard' to disregard an opposing view is 'public money' and we see this again when he's talking about the Atlas Network and Mihingarangi Forbes' interview with David Seymour National's beneficiary plans are clear as Louise Upston talked about in the weekend's Q&A programme, they want fewer people on the job seeker benefit. The problem is unemployment numbers are currently increasing, which means the only way you can have more unemployed, but fewer on the job seeker, then you have to just drop people off it anyhow you can. Tonight we want to show you the lessons that James O'Brien has shown his audience over Brexit and how a sector of the population regrets what they did. The reason we're showing this to you is that this will happen for a sector of NZ who voted for this new government when they realise what they voted for is not what they got. ================================================ 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
