Tonight, live from Revelry bar on Ponsonby Road Auckland, the Panel comes to your ear holes for a riveting hour of pub politics and current affairs. Joining Wallace for a look at some of the year's biggest issues is Heather Roy (ex ACT MP), Holly Bennett (former advisor to Minister Paul Goldsmith and founder of kaupapa Maori government relations firm Awhi), Phil Goff (former Auckland mayor) and Simon Wilson (senior writer NZ Herald). In this first hour the Panel discusses the brand-new reform of the Resource Management Act; a look at Auckland and the year out biggest city has endured; what's happened in education and how educators have been hit with a wave of new curriculum and after five years is New Zealand ready to decriminalise drugs?
