Green MP Huhana Lyndon joins us LIVE tonight at 9pm to talk about the Pae Ora Amendment Bill. Many within Maoridom are concerned that this bill are concerned changes to New Zealand's health legislation will weaken the voices of local Māori communities and centralise decision-making in Wellington.Dr Gary Payinda joins us LVE around 9.40 to talk about Dargaville Hospital patients asked to sign consent form on having no on-site doctor, something that legally a patient cannot do.Defence Minister Judith Collins carried a model Seahawk helicopter and a huge grin with her on Thursday, as she headed to the debating chamber to remind people that "they money will be found because the money has to be found" all in a week they wouldn't find money for teachers, and a week after they wouldn't find money for nurses.=================================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
