On this week's Lowdown, we'll discuss the crisis in the Dutch power grid, an impossible puzzle which is costing billions a year. Then, we'll talk about the Supreme Court its ruling in a years-long legal battle between the state and three human rights NGOs, who demand an export ban on fighter jet parts to Israel.
After running through a handful of other headlines, we get to the Holland Hotline, where our international guest gets to ask their most pressing question about Dutch society.
In this episode, Abhinav's question is about how the 30 percent tax cut ruling for expats works.

About Low Country Lowdown
Low Country Lowdown is the podcast for internationals in the Netherlands who want to stay in the loop.
Every Friday morning, we deliver a 20 minute explainer on the past week’s most important stories in Dutch news, politics, and society. We go beyond the breaking news by picking the major themes that will continue to shape the country.
Whether it's the ever-worsening housing crisis, consequential political feuds or the slow-burn disaster in the prison system, we explain why each story matters now and how it may play out in the months and years to come.
Every week, we're joined by an expat guest who shares their view and voices their most pressing questions.
