The Panel with Michelle Boag and Mike Williams (Part 2)
A University of Cambridge study on the differences between the sexes has found women have more empathy while men are more likely to view the world logically. The study seems to reinforce stereotypes of gender. The panelists weigh in on thier view. What the Panelists Michelle Boag and Mike Williams want to talk about. Kiwi stuntman Phil Somerville has completed his journey sailing from the USA to New Zealand, testing the Pacific Ocean for plastic waste as part of the "Eat Less Plastic" campaign. He says that 80 percent of the samples he took contained plastic. We speak to Phil as he gets off the boat in Auckland. People fundraising with sausage sizzles in Bunnings carparks will be given revised health and safety instructions. Following our drones discussion ove the last few days, we look into the problem of drones being used to spy on people and to scout out properties for thieves to burgle. We ask New Zealand Police if they've had any cases, as have been seen in other countries. Auckland Council has responded to Mike Hosking criticism of cycleways. Mr Hosking used his daily opinion piece yesterday to hit out at Auckland transport for using exaggerated figures to get funding for cycleways in the city. The council says he was comparing the wrong data and he should "get out of his car". The panelists give their opinion on who they think is right here. Scotland Yard has been granted more fudning to search for Madeleine McCann who went missing as a toddler 11 years ago. Madeleine was three when she disappeared while on holiday with her parents in Portugal. The Met launched an investigation into her disappearance in 2013, which has cost more than a million pounds so dar. The panelists discuss whether the investigation is a lost cause now.
