Show Notes
Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Peter Field and Nicky Pellegrino. First up, from today, cyclists will have a minimum space bubble of 1.5m from cars overtaking them on the road. The Panel speaks to an ex cyclist about whether this will get her back on the bike, and cycling advocate Patrick Morgan. Then, Wellington ratepayers might have to cough up to cover the council and water authority's failures in managing the Moa Point wastewater plant, with criminal charges laid. And eight years into the arrival of e-scooters, what role are the nifty sets of wheels playing in New Zealand's transport system? Jo Draper has authored a report. Finally, what was once national gardening week has become national gardening month. Sally Brown of Blueskin Bay Nursery in Otago explains what's on for October.
More from The Panel
First up, the fallout from the resignation of Labour candidate Kerrin Leoni after a video emerged of her campaigning alongside Mongrel Mob members. Then, there's only two days left to enroll before the election of 7 November. The panel talks to the campaign director of On A Roll, a campaign to get young people enrolled. Are young people really disengaged from politics and the election process? The panel finds out. And Australia has a scheme by which car manufacturers must make more information available to independent mechanics. Those in favour of the scheme say it saves motorists thousands of dollars and that it needs to happen here. Finally, after a wave to discussion and memories from our listeners earlier in the week, we have returned to the topic of pneumatic tubes. The panel talks to Nick Annear, the co-owner of C1 Espresso in Christchurch who, we are told, uses the said tubes to delivery fries to customers.
