#BHN Big Hairy News - A podcast by Blindfish Media
The Supreme Court has ruled today that not allowing 16 and 17 year old's is discriminatory and has thrown the ball to parliament to see if they will decide to lower the voting age. Tonight, we speak to Sanat Singh, Co-Director of Make it 16 to see where we are at. The government last week has made an amendment to hate speech laws that seems to not make anyone happy, it doesn't change laws to help some of the communities that have been petitioning the government most passionately, and it has put a target on the back of one community making them potentially a scape goat for opponents of any changes. Max Tweedie from Auckland Pride comes to comment on the changes. Elon Musk has begun reinstating many of the once banned accounts on Twitter including former president Donald J Trump. Trump has thus far rejected Musk's advances to come back.
