The Panel with Peter Field and Nicky Pellegrino

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Peter Field and Nicky Pellegrino. First up, from today, cyclists will have a minimum space bubble of 1.5m from cars overtaking them on the road. The Panel speaks to an ex cyclist about whether this will get her back on the bike, and cycling advocate Patrick Morgan. Then, Wellington ratepayers might have to cough up to cover the council and water authority's failures in managing the Moa Point wastewater plant, with criminal charges laid. And eight years into the arrival of e-scooters, what role are the nifty sets of wheels playing in New Zealand's transport system? Jo Draper has authored a report. Finally, what was once national gardening week has become national gardening month. Sally Brown of Blueskin Bay Nursery in Otago explains what's on for October.
