The Panel with Michele A'Court and Garry Moore (Part 2)

From The Panel, 4:05 pm on 9 August 2019

It's been 50 years since what some consider to be one of the greatest outdoor festival of all time, listed on Rolling Stone's "50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll" - Woodstock. 3 muddy, chaotic days at Max Yasgurs 600 acre farm in Bethel NY, where hundreds of thousands descended in 1969 to watch some of the best acts of the day assembled. The panellists look back on their favourite outdoor festivals. What is the best/worst outdoor festival you've been to? Why? Buddhism is the most trusted religion in New Zealand, accoridng to a survey from the Victoria University of Wellington. The survey was conducted after the Christchurch mosque shootings and looked into the trust of groups, institutions and people. Dr Simon Chapple, director of the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies at Victoria Business School, tells us more. Let's continue with this study by Victoria University, which also looked into gun ownership in New Zealand. In total 15 percent of the 1000 people surveyed owned a gun or lived in a household with someone who owned one. It found that gun owners trust the Government more than the gun lobby - even after the mosque attacks brought attention to firearms in the country. Dr Simon Chapple, director of the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies at Victoria Business School, explains the findings. Stuff did a brief survey of its staff, looking at the annoying habits in the workplace that wind people up the most. The top bug-bears include farting, abusive pet names, talking loudly, and bad toilet hygiene. Then there are the ones that are almost universal - the kitchen issues. Heating up stinky stuff in the microwave, people stealing your lunch or chucking it away in an overzealous clean up. We ask the panellists what annoys them.
