The Panel with Mary Lambie and Peter Dunne

First up, the panel mulls over an opinion piece that makes the case that New Zealand needs an independent watchdog to cost election promises. The panel talks to Dr Oliver Hartwich, Executive Director of The New Zealand Initiative. Then, Christchurch is to get a 12-month trial of commuter rail. Dave Macpherson, spokesperson for advocacy group, The Future is Rail is over the moon, but ... there's a fishhook in the proposal. And Brando Yelavich is on a one-man mission to clear a section of Coromandel bush from dumped rubbish. He says he's doing the community a service and wants his rubbish tip fees waived. Finally, the panel talks to a veteran hunter, Dink Watson, about his desire to make turkey hunting popular in New Zealand.
