Housing Minister Chris Bishop was on Q&A over the weekend and rejects the idea the Government's tightening of emergency housing hasn't led to an increase in homelessness, this is despite organisations in Auckland and Wellington recording an increase in the number of rough sleepers. Six senior doctors at Nelson Hospital have spoken out about their concerns staffing levels are putting patients lives in danger. The doctors say they – along with their union, the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists – have privately raised their concerns with management for months, if not years.Winston Peters has attacked Green MP Benjamin Doyle over deleted social media posts, some of which featured their child. Peters claimed there was enough in the posts for police to “make an inquiry as to whether they breach the law or not” however the Green Party says Peters is “fanning the flames of hatred towards the rainbow community” and has contacted Prime Minister Christopher Luxon twice after an “immense” number of “death threats and abuse directed at our MP, Benjamin Doyle and their child”.Rail Minister Winston Peters has revealed two new Cook Strait ferries will enter service in 2029 with rail decks and the capacity for 40 wagons. Cabinet agreed on the package earlier today, which Peters announced ahead of the Prime Minister's post-Cabinet media conference later this afternoon.=================================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 Facebookwww.facebook.com/BigHairyNews Follow us on Twitter.@patbrittenden @Chewie_NZFollow us on BlueskyPat @patbrittenden.bsky.socialChewie @chewienz.bsky.socialEmily @iamprettyawesome.bsky.socialMagenta @xkaosmagex.bsky.social
