From The Panel, 4:03 pm on 19 August 2019

The government has unveiled a bold new strategy aiming to drastically lower the number of Māori in prison. Lawyer and youth justice advocate Kingi Snelgar joins us to discuss whether these are realistic aims, and how they could be effectively implemented. Australia's relationship with the Pacific Islands is eroding by the soundbite - with deputy prime minister Michael McCormack the latest to commit an offensive faux pas. Journalist Michael Field joins the panel to discuss the future of the relationship, and what was actually achieved at the Pacific Islands Forum.
