[Rodney] Hide was ACT Party leader from 2004 to 2011, overseeing their humiliating decline from nine seats to just two in 2005. He was dumped as party leader in April 2011, to be replaced by an even less competent politician: Don Brash. ACT then fell to 1% and below. The market had spoken."See Grant's Substack here https://grantduncanphd.substack.comAndrew Eagles from the New Zealand Green Building Council joined Q&A on Sunday with an exclusive new analysis that outlines why his organisation believes the LNG import terminal plan is a mistake, and why a different plan for massive uptake of solar and heat pump hot water systems would work better.++++++++++++++++++++Like us on Facebook.com/BigHairyNetwork Follow us on Twitter.com/@bighairynetworkFollowing us on TikTok.com/@bighairynetworkSupport us on Patreon www.patreon.com/c/BigHairyNewsCheck out our merch https://bhn.nz/shop/Donate to our work https://bhn.nz/shop/donation/

    Mangakahia sisters Leah Timoko and Kirsty Tuhiwai join us tonight to talk about their new employment platform that aims to flip the recruitment model on its head.

Check out the site at www.youwillfind.co.nzFinance Minister Nicola Willis has denied playing politics with her announcement that a review into the Reserve Bank’s Covid response would be released in September, just months before the election. Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick described the timing as “a bit sus”.New Zealand First will campaign on a referendum to determine the future of the Māori seats in the lead-up to November’s general election. Party leader Winston Peters said in contemporary times, the seats built a more representative Parliament but with record levels of Māori MPs in the House, they were redundant.++++++++++++++++++++Like us on Facebook.com/BigHairyNetwork Follow us on Twitter.com/@bighairynetworkFollowing us on TikTok.com/@bighairynetworkSupport us on Patreon www.patreon.com/c/BigHairyNewsCheck out our merch https://bhn.nz/shop/Donate to our work https://bhn.nz/shop/donation/
