From The Panel, 4:03 pm on 14 March 2018

Google co-Founder Larry Page's company Kitty Hawk is testing autonomous air taxis in the skies above Canterbury. Jacinda Ardern has told the New York Times this sends "a message to the world that our doors are open for people with great ideas." The Labour party has suspended all Young Labour events as it reviews sexual assault claims. Did they get it right not telling the parents of the 16-year-olds who were assaulted? The fallout from the poisoning of Sergei Skripal continues. The British Government's now widened its already huge enquiry into this, to examine other deaths on British soil. The Panel talks to Waikato University's international law professor and author of The Causes of War, Dr Al Gillespie. Plain packaging is coming in today. A Professor of Public Health at Massey Univeristy, Marewa Glover, says plain packaging won't make any difference. She makes the case for making vaping more acceptable because it is considerable less harmful than cigarettes.
