#BHN Melanie Nelson on the TPB | ACC levies increasing | Luxon and Seymour conflict over ferries

Cross-cultural and Bilingual Consultant Melanie Nelson joins us to talk about, what she says is "the overshadowed bill poised to rewrite New Zealand’s legal system" Much has been said about the significant impacts of the Treaty Principles Bill (TPB) on te Tiriti and Māori rights. Far less is known about its unrecognised effects on all New Zealanders, which extend well beyond the Treaty....from https://melanienelson.substack.com/p/the-overshadowed-bill-poised-to-rewrite?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=2o42y&triedRedirect=true The Government has ordered a review of ACC and has confirmed the earners and business levy and those paid by motor vehicle owners are increasing with EVs increasing far more than petrol driven cars making it even less attractive to purchase zero emission vehicles David Seymour is being told to pull his head in by Christopher Luxon as he continues to speak out about the options for ferries which are none of the options that this government says it's going down. Is that true, or is Seymour saying the quiet part out loud and the PM wants him to stop? The Government is again running from an election promise of lowering bowel cancer screening with current pilots ending or about to end. This, in particular, is impact Maori and Pacificia people. ================================= 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 Follow us on Bluesky Pat @patbrittenden.bsky.social Chewie @chewienz.bsky.social Emily @iamprettyawesome.bsky.social Magenta @xkaosmagex.bsky.social
