The Panel with Verity Johnson and David Downs, Part 2
In part two, free massages and subsidised bicycles from work sure do sound nice, but are they genuinely useful perks? New research suggests only one in five employed New Zealanders think so. Then, true or false: you can get legally married over video call. If you're scratching your head at that, tune in to Celebrants Aotearoa president Anna Flanagan, who comes along to clear up some misconceptions.

The Panel with Verity Johnson and David Downs, Part 1
Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Verity Johnson and David Downs. First up, the Auckland's proposed habour crossing is sending fireworks across the political landscape this week, with Winston Peters calling it a gross state of money. North Shore councillor John Gillon joins the programme. Then, reduced transport subsidies for people with disabilities are being criticised by advocates like former paralympian Barney Koneferenisi.

The Panel with Nichole Lewis and Phil Goff, Part 2
In part two, large parts of Christchurch city are filled with brand new townhouses devoid of any tenants. Nearly 500 dwellings were built in the area in the last year, but only 50 people have moved in. City councillor Nathaniel Herz Jardine unpacks the issue. Then, an Otago group tackling the spread of Sycamore trees have been awarded over $50,000 to continue their work. Joining the show is Jennie Wagner-Gorton, the biodiversity coordinator for Open Valley Urban Sanctuary.
