Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Patrick Phelps and Jennie Moreton. First up, amid the weather warnings in Northland we talk to two affected residents waiting to see what the weather brings. Then, Meta and YouTube have been found liable in a landmark social media addiction trial in the US. The online behemoths have been ordered to pay 5.1 million NZ dollars to a young woman for her childhood addiction to social media. Jurors found that Meta and YouTube intentionally built addictive platforms that harmed her mental health. The Panel discusses what about this case makes it so important. And the Action Plan to Prevent and Reduce Substance Harm 2026 - 2029 was released recently. Meanwhile cocaine use has reached an all time high. Sarah Helm from the NZ Drug foundation talks to the Panel about where our drug policies work and where they don't.
