The Panel with Susan Hornsby-Geluk and Chris Clarke (Part 2)

From The Panel, 4:05 pm on 25 July 2019

What's a film you'd like to see remade? The government is taking on the titanic task of revamping the Resource Management Act - one of New Zealand's most convulted, sprawling, but important pieces of legislation. Dr Cathy Strong from Massey University joins us to talk about what they should be focussing on. Boris Johnson has conducted a thorough purge of Theresa May's cabinet, stacking the most influential roles in the British government with hardline Brexiteers. Otago University professor Robert Patman joins the Panel to discuss what the short-term future might hold. Fairtrade was meant to be the saviour of the Little Guy who picks our fruit, tea and coffee beans. But as big corporations start creating their own minimum standards, has the Fairtrade symbol lost some of its power?
