#BHN Chloe Swarbrick on Q&A talking ETS and Julie Anne Genter
Chloe Swarbrick was on with Jack Tame this weekend and Jack didn't hold back when it came to questions around how the party is operating at the moment.

Former Waitangi Tribunal Lawyer, Moana Tuwhare, joins us live to talk about ACT's definitions of the Treaty Principles being a "novel interpretation" of Te Tiriti with the backing of no expert opinion, and that the proposed legislation could "pose a threat to social cohesion".
The Government will end first home buyers grants — shifting the money to fund about 1500 new social housing places to be provided by external organisations instead of Kāinga Ora.
Over 50 local mayors from across the country have penned a letter to the Government, criticising their bill that would require councils to hold referendums on Māori wards established without a local poll.
