From The Panel, 6:05 pm today

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Marian Hobbs and David Farrar. First up, a third of households in New Zealand have struggled with food insecurity in the last year. That's a finding from a new report that has shocked foodbanks and food rescue charities that commissioned it. The Panel talk to Debbie Wilson, manager of the Hamilton Combined Christian Food Bank. Then, the Panel considers the question: should New Zealand revive Parliament's Upper Chamber as a check on power? They are joined by barrister Graeme Edgeler to debate the pros and cons.
