#BHN Seymour on the asshole pill | Easier to bring back pay equity? | Rates capped at 4%

Clint Smith joins us to talk about new analysis argues that reverting to the old pay equity regime might cost the Government about half as much as previous estimates. Does this therefore mean that a Labour led government could find it easier to restart the pay equity conversationThe Government has confirmed plans to cap council rates at 4%. Under the proposed system, first mooted late last year, annual rates increases would remain within an initial target range of 2% to 4%. This range will be reviewed every six years and updated "where necessary to reflect costs outside councils' control".David Seymour was on Breakfast obviously straight after consuming a big old arsehole pill as he dismissively pushed aside all the negative stats around Maori. One of the interesting thing is that ACT then used that footage as a 'win' for Seymour which it clearly wasn't.++++++++++++++++++++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/
