The New Zealand Nurses' Organisation has called a nationwide strike next month, saying the latest pay offer from Te Whatu Ora will cause another wave of nurses moving to Australia. There was a really interesting event that happened in the US over the weekend that demonstrates perfectly how misinformation happens. It isn't an example that is dangerous, it's about football, but it shows clearly how a lie can go around the world three times before truth gets it pants on. ================================= Help us win another listeners choice award, entries close 27 November Head to https://www.nzpodcastawards.com/nominate Enter the podcast name BHN or Big Hairy News Link to the podcast is https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/bhn-big-hairy-news/id1629215711 ================================= 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

**Scroll down and give us a hand at the NZ Podcast awards** Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury is joining us to talk over what happened in the US election and where to from here. The four-page Treaty Principles Bill has been introduced and will be debated in Parliament next week. As with all bills, the text begins with an explanatory note, includes links to some of the advice provided about it, such as a regulatory impact statement, and sets out the specific wording the law would change if enacted. Winston Peters spoke to Peter Williams this week claiming one of their biggest successes was to remove the last government who were passing policies that "they had never announced and had no permission for"...cue conversation about Smokefree 2025 and the ferries, not to mention the things that they did promise which they are not doing...Dunedin Hospital for example. ================================= Help us win another listeners choice award, entries close 27 November Head to https://www.nzpodcastawards.com/nominate Enter the podcast name BHN or Big Hairy News Link to the podcast is https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/bhn-big-hairy-news/id1629215711 ================================= 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

**Scroll down and give us a hand at the NZ Podcast awards** The wording of David Seymour’s controversial Treaty Principles Bill will be revealed tomorrow – more than a week before originally planned – amid fierce criticism of the policy from the Waitangi Tribunal. As we go into the evening the momentum seems to be with Donald Trump with Kamala Harris' path to winning the White House dwindling. As of writing this post, there is no clear winner, and it could go either way but you'd rather be on Team Trump, than Team Harris right now. ================================= Help us win another listeners choice award, entries close 27 November Head to https://www.nzpodcastawards.com/nominate Enter the podcast name BHN or Big Hairy News Link to the podcast is https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/bhn-big-hairy-news/id1629215711 ================================= 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

**Scroll down and give us a hand at the NZ Podcast awards** US election day tomorrow and where do we start? There is so much out there at the moment with views anywhere from Trump win to too-close-to-call to Harris win but tonight we'll have a look again and give you what we think will happen tomorrow NZ time. Piers Morgan went on Mehdi Hasan's Zeteo show and the results are about as bad as you would think. We'll look over a couple of key moments from that interview. One of the Associate Health Minister’s top officials has slammed the evidence Casey Costello used to justify giving heated tobacco products a tax cut. Costello then sent a release to TVNZ, in a Trumpian type move, calling out those officials as "undermining" the work she is doing Luxon on 30 with Guyon Espiner. We featured some of Espiner's interview yesterday but there are a couple more important takes from Luxon that we can't just let go as he seems to think the power rests with him personally and not the voters To follow on the election tomorrow we suggest Sam and Emma at the Majority Report https://www.youtube.com/@TheMajorityReport David Pakman https://www.youtube.com/@thedavidpakmanshow Brian Tyler Cohen https://www.youtube.com/@briantylercohen The Vanguard https://www.youtube.com/@TheVanguardPod Kyle Kulinski https://www.youtube.com/@SecularTalk Breaking Points https://www.youtube.com/@breakingpoints ================================= Help us win another listeners choice award, entries close 27 November Head to https://www.nzpodcastawards.com/nominate Enter the podcast name BHN or Big Hairy News Link to the podcast is https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/bhn-big-hairy-news/id1629215711 ================================= 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
