The Panel with Jennie Moreton and Peter Field Part 1
Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Jennie Moreton and Peter Field.
First up, we take the pulse on a petition to deport Neo Nazi Thomas Sewell back to New Zealand which has reached 50,000 signatures in Australia. Should we take him? Or can Australia deal with him?
Then, a new chapter in water reforms begins today as councils deliver their water delivery plans. Now it appears more than 40 water providers will emerge with many councils choosing to keep water in house. The Panel talks to Gary Kircher, Mayor for Waitaki.
Finally, Denmark has 25 ministerial portfolios, NZ has 81. The NZ Initiative think tank thinks we need to follow Denmark.
