#BHN Big Hairy News - A podcast by Blindfish Media

Labour is accusing the government of manipulation by using the wrong data on maths education, saying it's like shifting the goalposts after the ball has been kicked. Elected Primary Principals Representative Teaching Council of Aotearoa and Northland Principal Pat Newman joins us to talk about the changes.
