#BHN John Oliver slays JD Vance | Costello faces angry health researchers | Charter Schools back

John Oliver chose to talk about the Trump/Harris debate in his latest episode as he was off last week winning and Emmy. In particular he chose to focus on the "eating the cats" and "eating the dogs" comments from Trump and contrary to the claim "we're just hearing from constituents" he showed how JD Vance himself might be the origins of the false claim. Associate Health Minister Casey Costello has had her first big meeting with health workers, who are still fuming that the Government repealed the Smoke Free Generation Law. Costello defended the repeal, and continued to deny the move was influenced by big tobacco Legislation re-introducing charter schools has passed its final reading in Parliament. The third reading on Wednesday saw passionate speeches both for and against the bill, which revives the alternative education model. The change, promised in National's coalition agreement with the ACT Party, has been spearheaded by ACT leader and Associate Education Minister David Seymour. ================================== 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
