A school principal tells us why he'll defy an order to not let children take home leftover lunches.

Don Mackinnon on how much of a blow it is in delaying NZ20 for a year.

And on The Huddle, Josie Pagani and Trish Sherson discuss whether it's the beginning of the end for Te Pati Maori. One of them says we wouldn't have Te Pati Pakeha.
