The Panel with Cindy Mitchener and Scott Campbell Part 2

This half hour the panel hears from John McKie, a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who is on the board of the New Zealand Artificial Limb Service. he repsonds to our story about amputees fed up with the Limb service. And we hear from one Whanganui resident who is complaining that CBD carparks only runs to 90 mins, and thats not enough time to take in the movie at the cimena.  

There were no CCTV cameras in the car park where Daniel Otess died despite a sign saying they are recording.

The Politics Panel

Tonight Wallace is joined by Guyon Espiner, Maria Slade and Russel Norman as they discuss the main politcal stories of the day. 

This time: submitters are feeding back on the Regulatory Standards Bill; is the political pendulum a wrecking ball? as according to Stuff's national affairs editor Andrea Vance; and the Covid inquiry is in phase 2 - what are we learning?
