From The Panel, 6:00 pm today

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Eve McCallum and Tim Batt. First up, the government says a Liquefied Natural Gas import facility in Taranaki will save New Zealanders about $265 million a year. Mark Ogge, Principal Advisor at The Australia Institute on climate and energy issues, says importing gas is only good if you want to pay more for electricity and virtually any other type of energy use. Then, neither the right or left bloc would be able to govern if an election were held today, according to the latest Taxpayers' Union-Curia Poll. Grant Duncan, Research associate, Public Policy Institute, University of Auckland explains how to read polls and when to take notice of them.
