The Panel with Boopsie Maran and Alan McElory Part 1

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Boopsie Maran and Alan McElory.

First up, "good things take time" ... much like the lead up to Fonterra's decision to sell its consumer businesses to global dairy giant Lactalis for $3.8 billion. The Panel talks to Fonterra Co-operative Council chair John Stevenson . Also:  Electricians are feeling the pinch, with trainee sparkies struggling to get work, the Panel talk to Peter Couchman the General Manager of Wellington's Seven Electrical.
