The Panel with Ali Jones and Tim Watkin (Part 1)

From The Panel, 4:03 pm on 6 June 2018

Jamie McCracken tells us what became of his Blenheim rental property after it was declared hazardous because of methamphetamine contamination. The McCracken's were handed a huge clean-up bill and now they've found out it was all for nothing. And Philip MacAlister of NZ Property Investors Magazine tells us how landlords are reacting to the PM's science advisor Sir Peter Gluckman's announcement that there's no harm from second-hand methamphetamine exposure. Just what should we cll the town-otherwise-known-as Levin? Official records do not recognise the name Levin not the Maori equivalent Taitoko. The Government will outlaw single-use plastic bags in some shape or form. The United Nations today says outlawing single-use can be effective in cutting back on waste, but poor follow-through has left many such bans ineffective.
