From The Panel, 4:05 pm on 26 June 2018

Would you just like everyone to shut up sometimes? Blabbing during movies, commenting during music performances, nattering in the middle of a play. Apparently people don't like being "shhhhh'ed". So what's the best way to quieten down people who can't zip it sweetie? What the Panelists Catherine Robertson and Peter Fa'afiu want to talk about. The Prime Minister has done a couple of pieces of art for charity. She has a theme - her "to do" list. Beside those words she's painted "everything". Is this true artistsic expression? One the North America's most successful pioneer-era writers has had her name taken off a book award that bore her name. Laura Ingalls Wilder's writing is laced with racism. Should her name be taken off the award because she was a product of her time? RNZ's Emile Donovan casts an eye over what's happening in the Football World Cup. Including thoughts on Portugal, Spain and women commentators. Broken street lights in parts of Wellington aren't being fixed for weeks or even months. There are even spells of darkness in Manners St one of the capital's busiest. Dancing With the Stars viewers who tried to vote for David Seymour say say a technical glitch indicated their support for him last night was not counted, because of a technical glitch.
