The Panel with Penny Ashton and David Farrar, Part 1
from The Panel
Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Penny Ashton and David Farrar. First up, MPs perks have been deeply scrutinised lately. They're unapologetic about the perks, but are we paying politicians more than what they'd get in the private sector? And if not should they? Geoff Plimmer, associate professor for the school of business and government in Victoria University, joins the panel to discuss. Then, a traffic island at the end of Courtenay Place is the only physical evidence of the Golden Mile dream - now it may have to be altered. Wellington columnist Dave Armstrong opines about the now dead project.
