The Panel

A Central Helicopters chopper was shot at, just after landing with a couple of hunters on board, a father and son. Phil Janssen is operations manager at Heli Hunt 'n' Fish Taupo. He says the police were far to slow to confiscate the shooters guns and as a result one of them who got away went on to commit another firearms offence.

Waikato University's Professor of International Law Dr Al Gillespie gives us his take on the looming trade war and the latest in the Skripals' poisoning.

What the Panelists Nadine Higgins and Matt Nippert want to talk about.

What talents run in your families? What talent do you wish you had? And what does/did your current family, or the family you grew up in do to bond?

Pupils of Tahuna Normal Intermediate School, it seems to be the most affected but other schools as well like Kings High, catch the no. 18 bus from the Otago Peninsula. Not only does the bus get them to school late, it doesn't get them there at all, really. It stops short and they have to walk the best part of two kilometres across busy roads.

Sam Warburton is an economist at The New Zealand Initiative talks to The Panel about what he thinks of previous road safety campaigns and whether the change in transport policy will really save 160 lives.

The former police inspector who has left the force over her relationship with a young man who is now 18, but 17 and at school when they met.

The Press Council has not upheld a complaint against a column by Sir Bob Jones calling for a 'Maori Gratitude Day'.

The Press Council has not upheld a complaint against a column by Sir Bob Jones calling for a 'Maori Gratitude Day'. It did call the column "mean, malicious and infantile". Another brief discussion on the former police inspector who has left the force over her relationship with a young man who is now 18, but 17 and at school when they met. Tania Baron is 43. Sam Warburton is an economist at The New Zealand Initiative talks to The Panel about what he thinks of previous road safety campaigns and whether the change in transport policy will really save 160 lives.

Not only does the bus get them to school late, it doesn't get them there at all, really. It stops short and they have to walk the best part of two kilometres across busy roads. The Otago Regional Council's been asked to make minor changes to the route to obviate some of this, but it won't.
