Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Jennie Moreton and Simon Wilson. First up, the weekend saw both the ACT and Labour parties hold rallies announcing new policy. Michael Swanson, a honorary research fellow in the politics programme at Otago University, joins the panel to discuss the two parties and their possible election outcomes. Then, Health and safety regulation can sometimes be the butt of the joke, where critics say the paperwork required is just common sense. The ACT Party's Health and Safety Amendment Bill intends to overthrow much of those requirements. Dr Danaë Anderson, Researcher & Lecturer in Workplace Health and Safety at Victoria University of Wellington joins the panel to assess the bill and if it will do what it says it will.
