The Panel

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Simon Wilson and Jo McCarroll. First up, Coastguard Tautiaki Moana is celebrating new rules that make lifejackets compulsory on all small vessels. Then, a Panel debate that's carried through the week: how much milk is it appropriate to drink from your workplace fridge? A primary school teacher got in touch to say her school is in the midst of a crackdown on that exact thing. After the headlines, Queensland is undergoing major reform on e-bikes - and now, they're only available to over 16 year olds. Bicycle Queensland chief executive Matthew Burke is outraged.

Wallace Chapman and Jesse Mulligan star in the shortest show on radio, where they show they really can make something out of nothing, join them to be part of their delight, or to simply despair. Wallace will also preview what's on The Panel tonight.

An extra half hour of The Panel with Wallace Chapman, where to begin, he's joined by Nights host Emile Donovan. Then: to New South Wales, where $12m has been spent on a motorway underpass to make sure endangered koalas have a safe passage. But five months later...not one koala has walked through. Environmental researcher and policy lead at wildlife charity WIRES, Dr Colin Salter, explains why.

First up, carparks are back on the community noticeboard in Auckland. A new development in Morningside is void of any, and locals are worried about where the cars might go if new residents have them. Then, of all the trade wars going on in the world, Canada and the United States are among the most interesting, given their close relationship. Joining with analysis is Markus Wagney, a professor of law and school research director at the University of Wollongong. 
In part two, SuperGold card holders in the Waikato get free public transport travel any time, but the council might soon be scrapping on-peak subsidies. Grey Power Hamilton chairperson Rudi du Plooy explains what effect that would have. Then, the panel speaks to a hero of Hawkes Bay. Sandy Stoddart took up powerlifting in his late 60s, and now he's fundraising to head to the Oceania Championships in Fiji.
