About this episode
This week on The Panel, Tim Beveridge is joined by Newstalk ZB's Resident Builder Pete Wolfkamp and NZ Gardener editor Jo McCarroll to discuss the biggest stories from this week.
Do Harbour Bridge protests do more harm than good for your cause? Did Anna Breman make the right decision for the OCR? Should we be mad that AI will be making welfare decisions? And, is there anything to be excited about in Budget 2026?
