The Panel with Penny Ashton and Patrick Phelps, Part 1

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by Penny Ashton and Patrick Phelps. First up, with the recent fatal weather dis related disasters in the North island we have to ask: does our emergency planning match the frequency and extremity of events? The Panel talks to Richard Adams, the founder and director of Taskforce Kiwi, an organisation that offers completely voluntary support in emergencies. Then, the Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has declined Donald Trump's offer for New Zealand to join the Board for Peace. The Panel mulls over the pros and cons of the decision - should we have taken the seat at the table?
