The Panel with Esther Robinson and Simon Pound

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Esther Robinson and Simon Pound. First up, there are calls for Plunket to stop using the Body Mass Index in their pre-school checks for four and five year-olds. Then, the Hamilton-Auckland Te Huia train has sparked fiery debate in council chambers with a $667m proposal to expand the service. Waikato Regional Councillor Chris Hughes shares his perspective. And with all the talk about supermarkets and excess profits, the panel speaks to John Gray, the co-owner of New World in New Plymouth, for the other side of the story. Finally, they chat to Julie Woods, a blind Dunedin resident who has just finished walking every single street in the wider city.
