#BHN Matthew Tukaki on Hobson's Pledge advertising | Jan Tinetti on Q&A | New beneficiary sanctions

#BHN Big Hairy News - A podcast by Blindfish Media

Matthew Tukaki joins us LIVE at 9pm to talk about the stance he, and Waatea News, took today ending their content-sharing agreement with the New Zealand Herald based on the Hobson's Pledge advertorial the Herald ran last week Labour's education spokesperson Jan Tinetti was on Q&A in the weekend and says her party is seeking legal advice about whether 10-year charter school contracts could be broken. The former Education Minister says Labour "will get rid of charter schools" if re-elected, despite her colleague Willie Jackson's view that the policy helped Māori students. New sanctions are on the way for beneficiaries who do not meet their obligations, including putting half a person's benefit on a payment card for a limited range of "essential" products and services, and community work experience. =================================== 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
