The Panel with Catherine Robertson and Peter Fa'afiu (Part 1)

There's been not even a 1 per cent uptake on the government's offer of zero-fees for first year tertiary students. Did they get it entirely wrong or are their other reasons the offer hasn't been widely received? Michelle Leadsom of the Manukau Institute of Technology thinks the timing of announcing the scheme last November left prospective first-years on the hop. The owner of Cromwell-based trucking company Summerland Express Freight says many drivers want long working hours. Some work up to seventy hours a week. There have been a series of accidents that Summerland vehicles were involved in over the past year. Are there any lines of work where it's ok to toil for seventy hours? After a real shocker singing the New Zealand anthem at the rugby league in Denver American woman Crystal Collins was given a second chance. What do you think of this rendition she sang for a radio show in New Zealand? The founder of Dunedin's Cannabis Museum Abe Gray is gathering some influential names to get a conversation about legalising cannabis. Just how does he imagine that would look like in New Zealand? Meanwhile the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the first prescription drug derived from cannabis as a treatment for rare forms of epilepsy.
