The Panel with Eve McCallum and Martin Cocker, Part 1  

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Eve McCallum and Martin Cocker.  

First up, Shane Jones says the last govt fatally wounded the country's fuel security by allowing the closure of Marsden point. Was he right? The Panel talks to a fuel supply expert.  

Then, are townhouses still a good investment? They were supposed to be great for new buyers, but the market is finding them very difficult to sell. The Panel talks to an expert investor who says they are not a great thing to buy right now.

The Panel with Eve McCallum and Martin Cocker, Part 2  

In part two, we return to the issue of speed bumps in Nelson. Earlier this week we talk to resident Jeremy Matthews who was very anti-bumps. But today we talk to the other side - Shona who represents the part of Nelson who loves them. 

Then, the Panel talks to Kahu Woolley who is competing at the New Zealand rural games tomorrow in woodchopping. But four months ago, at another axe event he had a heart attack. The Panel hears his story.
