What plastic product would you NEXT like to see banned? The new housing minister won't confirm targets for kiwibuild - so the 100,000 houses may not be the key phrase anymore. Megan Woods became Minister of Housing - leaving Phil Twyford will deal with Urban Development - last week. The Panellists discuss waht needs ot be done with the portfolio. A new report has slammed MPI's handling of kauri dieback as "appalling". The Environment Select Committee report called the agency slow to act in its response to the threat. It highlights serious concern from organisations that the department has failed with its Kauri Dieback Programme and has let the disease get out of control. Chris McBride from The Kauri Project tell us where they are going worng. Hell Pizza is facing heat - and perhaps even legal woes - over its gimmick to serve fake meat without telling customers. The brand could be in breach of the Fair Trading Act after it launched its burger pizza, which claimed to have a medium rare burger patty, which instead turned out to be Beyond Meat. We ask the panellists if they think it's a problem or not.
