Meanwhile in Christchurch the Black Caps have four wickets left to survive the test and win the series against England. The Panel is joined by the NZ Herald's property editor, Anne Gibson to discuss the quality or otherwise of new builds in Auckland. A one bedroom apartment near Britomart went for $30,000 but be warned of a fatigued vendor. After being slashed with a machete and suffering a broken skull in a brutal robbery, a Hamilton dairy owner has installed a metal cage at the entrance to his shop. Jess Denholm and other residents living across the road from Otahuhu's Seaside Park are fed up with people using the park as a party spot late at night on weekends.
