The Panel with Julia Hartley-Moore and James Elliott (Part 1)

From The Panel, 4:08 pm on 29 September 2023

Wallace and panellists Julia Hartley-Moore and James Elliott find out about the official arrival of El Nino and hear about the public health risks following the sewage spill from a large sinkhole in the Auckland suburb of Parnell.

They also discuss how forcing people to repay welfare 'loans' traps them in a poverty cycle and 'don't call text' - why we're no longer taking phone calls.
