The Panel

An organiser of a Quidditch tournament in the US thinks movie company Warner Bros has been taken over by the Harry Potter villain Voldemorte. The company is cracking down on fan festivals. The President of the Quidditch Association of New Zealand Ryan Fairbrother says Warner Bros is ruining the magic.

The government is opening the door of investment to allow the manufacture of pre-fabricated buildings to help ease the housing crisis. Roger Levie of the Home Owners and Buyers Association of New Zealand welcomes the idea and says it will provide training in the building industry and quality control.

The Dunedin City Council has surveyed workers in the city about working during the Easter holiday. It found that half of those surveyed felt pressured to work on the long weekend by their bosses. Easter 2018 was a one-off because of the Ed Sheeran event in the city. The Council survey of retailers, employees and the general public shows there's mixed support for the policy to continue.

There's been plenty of listener feedback about industrial action by nurses. Those on-side and those off. There's no more money in the purse so should nurses be happy with a 9% pay-rise and $2000 lump sums?

UK restaurants will soon have to add the calorific values of food items on their menus. Along with banning sugar-based drinks to children is this the way we should be heading in New Zealand?

Green MP Julie Anne Genter will take three-moths maternity leave later this year. Should our PM also be taking more time off after the birth of her first baby?

Feeling a bit anxious while driving is a good thing and road safety advocate Clive Mathew-Wilson says while it's ok for our nerves to be a bit frayed the same can't be said about the state of the roads. He lays the blame on trucks and says the trucking industry isn't contributing enough to road upkeep. The photo that tugged at the heartstrings of the World was fake. Time magazine was wrong when it said the girl confronting Donald Trump on its cover, little Yanela Sanchez, was carried away screaming by US border patrol agents. Her father in fact supports illegal immigrants being deported, even though his daughter's mother paid $6,000 to a people smuggler. We've had home-grown singers massacre the anthem at Rugby League internationals, it seems to be peculiar to Rugby League, but then up stepped Crystal Collins.
