The Panel with Eve McCallum and Andie McCombs, Part 2
In part two, when it comes to the government's changes to the Equal Pay Act, you can't go past these words: a 'flagrant and significant abuse of power.' That's a description of the process parliament followed, when the changes were passed under urgency. That prompted the formation of the People's Select Committee on Pay Equity, which did it's own consultation on the changes. Former Women's Affairs minister Steve Chadwick served on the committee and joins the Panel. Then, Craig Piner is the chief fire officer in Richmond, outside of Nelson, he's marking 27 years of volunteer service. The Panel salutes him and all volunteers everywhere.
