#BHN Julian Batchelor tries to lie his way out of trouble | GST off fruit and veg? | Nicky Hagers new book

Julian Batchelor is speaking to media attempting to distance himself from the actions of men at his recent meeting where protestor Victoria Jakobs was assaulted. He is claiming the events happened one way, when the evidence is clear they did not. It seems that he is attempting to make himself less culpable for the actions and one imagines this may be a tactic as he may be worried about legal action For some reason the National Party is attempting to convince NZers that if Labour was to take GST off fresh fruit and veg that would be a bad thing. In all honestly it won't make a big difference to Kiwis, but it would be popular and is weird that National is attempting to paint a negative picture about people spending less at the supermarket. Rumours are out that Nicky Hager's next book will be on the funders of the Taxpayers Union. We'll check out the story tonight. +++++++++++++++ Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of ⁠#BHN⁠ ⁠https://www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews⁠ Like us on Facebook www.facebook.com/BigHairyNews Follow us on Twitter. @patbrittenden @Chewie_NZ
