#BHN Green MP Hūhana Lyndon on Winston Peters threats over RNZ funding | Tesla profits drop 71% | TPM skips another Privileges Committee

In a combative exchange on Morning Report on Wednesday morning, Peters took exception to Dann’s questioning about the NZ First member’s bill to define the term “woman” in law, accusing the broadcaster of running the line of political opponents ending up with Mr Peters making an apparent threat to cut RNZs funding.

Tesla's profits fell 71% over the first three months of this year, a company earnings release on Tuesday showed. The decline comes amid worldwide protests against CEO Elon Musk over his role in the Trump administration.

Te Pāti Māori was given “one more chance” to speak to the Privileges Committee, but its MPs again refused to attend a hearing regarding their haka during the initial vote for the Treaty Principles Bill.
