Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Leonie Freeman and Richard Pamatatau. First up, The Panel crosses live to Doha and Al Jazeera: what is the sense of those working there on how long this Middle East war will continue? then the Panel discusses the new Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei. Then, Christopher Luxon starts a new week with the spectre of nightmare poll results breathing down his neck. Where to for him here? Will he survive to the election?
