The Panel with Jo McCarroll and Bill Ralston (Part 2)

From The Panel, 4:05 pm on 21 June 2019

What piece of art (paintings, photography, sculptures etc) has moved you to tears? A sobering, but fascinating article in METRO magazine about the changing nature of club rugby in Auckland. Changing is one word for it, the " death of " is what the writer of the article calls it. Jamie Wall says player numbers are dropping quicker than anyone would dare to admit. We ask him why it's happening. Another day, another piece on the Oranga Tamariki uplift story. Today an opinion piece in Stuff from an anonymous writer, a paediatric nurse, who says it is our fault the children's agency has to take kids away, because of our appaling abuse record. The panellists discuss the account. Some people get more than 100 emails every day - and this can be really bad for stress levels. The panellists discuss how to take a load off when you're accessible around the clock.
