Opinion: I have been on the receiving end of a barrage of hate over the last 24 hours. It's called a pile-on.

It was prompted by what I said yesterday - which in short was that I'll be at Saturday's protest to show solidarity alongside our trans community.

It's a community that's long had to deal with being the target of hate, abuse, ridicule, and discrimination at every corner.

We all want to fit in, and I'll use my radio show to help the trans community fit in too.

But just like whenever I talk about being gay or gay rights, my opinions riled a whole lot of people.

The vast majority of these people were faceless, nameless trolls who got off on having a go at me. I'm used to that, even though that in itself is pretty shit.

The main retort people replied with was that I hate women. That I'm a misogynist.And it's ridiculous I have to clear this up - but what a load of crap. I'm a feminist.

Lloyd Burr: Desperate trolls scrape the bottom of the barrel

The National Party has unveiled a new education policy called "Teaching the Basics Brilliantly" in an attempt to fix what they describe as a failing education system. 

The proposal includes a daily curriculum, consisting of one hour each of reading, writing and maths for primary and intermediate schools across the country.

In addition to the new curriculum, students will be assessed at least twice a year, allowing parents to track their children's progress and understand where they need additional support.

The "Teaching the Basics Brilliantly" package has been met with mixed reactions.

Numerous groups have come out with questions about Nationals' education overhaul, including Education Minister Jan Tinetti who Today FM asked to come on Lloyd Burr Live but we were told she's busy. 

The Green party has given the policy a big fail stamp, Burr spoke to Green MP Teanau Tuiono.
