from The Panel
Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Nichole Lewis and Andrew Clay.

The panel hears from Kirsten Saunders, the owner of Smith the Grocer Cafe, in the Old Bank Arcade on Lambton Quay. Then, it's no secret that rates alone aren't cutting it for councils, with budgets stretched to the max. And now, Local Government New Zealand says it's about time the beehive heavyweights start sharing GST revenue from new builds. Hauraki District Mayor Toby Adams joins the panel.
