#BHN Nicky floats corp tax breaks | Mariameno on a Treaty Commissioner | Dame Iritana dies at 95

Nicola Willis says we can't afford to fund critical services on the brink of collapse, but she'll cut our revenue even more to give corporations a tax cut in the name of "growth". Dame Iritana Te Rangi Tāwhiwhirangi has died at 95. She was a founder of the Kōhanga Reo movement, and will be remembered for her role in advancing Māori self-determination and her positive impact on Māori education. Mariameno Kapa-Kingi, MP for Te Tai Tokerau, sits down for a chat with Mihingarangi Forbes, to discuss TPM's proposal for a treaty commissioner and the challenges facing her electorate and their role as hosts of Waitangi Day ================================= 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 Follow us on Bluesky Pat @patbrittenden.bsky.social Chewie @chewienz.bsky.social Emily @iamprettyawesome.bsky.social Magenta @xkaosmagex.bsky.social
