#BHN Govt cancels 2024 govt plans | CoC leaders won't attend Koroneihana | Bradbury Group review
Description
A year and a half on from the Government's trainwreck handling of changes to disability funding, a new model has been rolled out. Gone are controversial limits on how parents and carers spend their allocated budgets, making way for more flexibility and freedom.A New Zealand-born, self-proclaimed Neo Nazi leader has been arrested in Melbourne and spent the night behind bars after an alleged assault at an Aboriginal burial site over the weekend. Thomas Sewell left New Zealand as a young child, and calls for him to be deported from Australia are growing.Thousands descended on Tūrangawaewae Marae on Wednesday, as the opportunity to mourn loved ones and celebrate the ascension of Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono I te po was opened up to the motū. Some noticeable absences though are the three leaders of the coalition who will not be attending.We'll take a quick look at the Bradbury Group podcast from last night where we got a couple of examples of how badly the vulnerable are doing in Aotearoa at the moment. Simon Wilson also shares a story about attending a Shane Jones speech where the hypocrisy was palpable.=================================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
